Cutthroat Porter Clone

[mheagney]

Greetings!

I'll be brewing up a batch of my favorite porter, a clone of Odell's Cutthroat porter!

:x

Never heard of that one. What's the recipe? (If you don't mind sharing :wink: )

[mheagney]

The recipe is from an old byo, i've made it several times, playing around with the hops each time. This is the unaltered version.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I've been using WLP005 for the yeast.

I can't do a side by side since I don't get out to the denver area often, but my memory tells me that it's fairly close. Besides I don't really brew to clone, I brew to taste, and I like what I taste when I brew this.

Nice looking porter, I haven't had the Odells but that recipe looks like it has a lot of good flavors going on in it.

Welcome to the forum also.
