Hi John,

That much wheat in a porter is inappropriate for the style.  For a partial mash try:  6.6lbs Golden light LME, 2 lbs 2 row, 1 lb, crystal 10L, .5 lb chocolate, 0.5 lb black patent, 0.5 lb munich malt.  That will get you a gravity of 1.065 or 6.7% abv.  English hops are more traditional, EKG, Fuggle, Willamette, Northern brewer.  Shoot for about 40 IBUs, mash as you said.  Choose a british ale yeast and go to it. -Al

I was jamming in Ingredients I had on hand and looking on the net for a recipe and found a wheat heavy robust porter. I thought it was a bit much at like 65 IBUs. I guess i will just make a wheat something-ish  and pick up ingredients for the porter do you deliver? ...Just kidding. See ya Soon Thanks again I never followed styles (more ways than one) from the beginning so this is new to me but trying to learn.  -John

sorry for taking so long to get back. as far as style guide lines go al is right some of that stuff has to go. BUT if you want to give it a try as is you should. the only thing is with that much wheat in it its going to be very foamy
