Bourbon Barrel Baltic Porter

We discussed the next beer to place in the bourbon barrel at the October BFD meeting and decided on a Baltic Porter. Here is a five gallon recipe brewed by Mitch and Todd that placed 1st in the BFD Imperial Challenge 2006:

• 15 lb. Pilsner malt
• 12 oz. Chocolate malt
• 8 oz. Caramunich malt
• 8 oz. Crystal 90L malt
• 4 oz. Black Patent malt
• 1.5 oz. Perle hops (bittering - 60 minutes) - 9% AA
• 1 oz. Hallertau hops (flavor - 30 minutes) - 6.5% AA
• 0.5 oz. Hallertau hops (aroma - 15 minutes)
• Wyeast 2206 (Bavarian Lager yeast)
• O.G. 1.076

We are shooting to place the Porter in the barrel by the December holiday party, so let Todd know your thoughts on the recipe and let's get brewing!
