Beer recipe - English Porter
ABV 5.2% | Colour 60 EBC | Bitterness* 28 IBU |
Description
A style of beer born in London in the first part of the 18th century. It was widely consumed in pubs in the city and its outskirts by workers and soon gained popularity. It has a moderate alcohol level, dark brown colour, notes of caramel and chocolate typical of the style, as well as light herbal notes of classic English hops. The medium attenuation English ale yeast guarantees this beer's moderate sweetness and body.
*The bitterness depends on the alpha acid content of hops, boiling conditions and other parameters.
