The Great Thanksgiving Porter
Thanksgiving at the Hacksaw Household. Expecting 17 people
total with 10 of them likely to be consuming some beer I vowed to have 2
dedicated kegs for this grand event. It was the big unveiling of many of our
projects and a time to show off my beer cave and home brewing expertise.
Several family members had suggested a nice smooth porter and I tried to craft
this recipe to fit that bill. As an indicator of this beer’s success – let me
just share that the full 5 gallons were gone before the weekend was over. A keg
kicking is sometimes sad, but other times it is satisfying to know people
enjoyed the brew. This was the latter without a doubt.
