Notes

I used Jamil's Robust Porter recipe as a base, added a half pound of Munich when Northern Brewer told me they didn't bill by the partial pound so I rounded up... Hops are leftover stuff from the freezer and a bunch of wet hops I picked this morning... I planted Cascade, Willamette and Fuggle, but they've grown into each other and gone crazy, so a mix it is!

I tried to edit the AA of the hops to account for their age, I actually used 4oz of 5% EKG that were unsealed and about two years old. My hop degradation calculator tells me the AA should be 3%... so I added another ounce of 6.2% EKG that were still vacuum packed. the IBU's should be about 40, which I First Wort Hopped....
