Notes

LEGER'S LUCIOUS PORTER
brewed by Kris Leger

The is a recipe adapted from a 5 gallon batch recipe from the Brew Your Own publication "30 Great Beer Styles" by Jamil Zainasheff. The style is the BJCP style 19 A, American Amber Ale.

This batch requires an initial 3.00 gallons of water, from your local source. A 1/2 Campden tablet (to remove chlorine) needs to added as the water is filling your pot, along with the addition of 0.25 oz of gypsum and 0.5 oz Calcium Chloride.

A 25% reduction in volume is expected to occur with the one hour boil. This is why 3 gallons is the initial volume of water.

A 5 gallon pot is ideal, stainless steel is best. There will be plenty of room in the pot to prevent boil-overs when using the 5 gallon pot.
