After the HUGE success of our Hoppy Birthday, we embark our second brewing journey. This time a Honey Porter using the recipe from the White House brewmasters [link], as prepared by the brewmasters at Northern Brewers.

The process went a lot smoother than last time (by that I mean that we didn’t overboil the wort!). We used a mix of whole grain and extract. Cool stuff.

    

Brewed: White House Honey Porter

Original Gravity: 1055 (recipe calls for 1054)

Brewmasters: Ariel, Steven, Andres, Beny, Bernardo, Jaco

On TV: Nets at Hawks

Dinner: Sicilian Oven Pizza

Drank: “Hoppy Birthday” (the last 2 bottles!), Doghead’s “90 minute IPA”, 5 Rabbits’ “5 Vultures”, Two Brothers “Sidekick Extra Pale Ale”, Terrapin Brewery’s “Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter”, Ariel’s Belgian Saisson.

Lessons learned:

• The filter in the funnel sucks. Should use a strainer next time.
