Slightly modified from Papazian's Sparrow Hawk Porter

Ingredients:

O.G.: 1.046

F.G.: 1.018

Procedure:

Added black patent malt to 6 qts. cold water and brought to boil. Removed black patent malt, and added malt extracts and N. Brewer hops. Boiled 1 hour. Tettenger hops added during final 5 minutes of boil. Mixed with 3.5 gallons of cold water in fermenter. Pitched yeast at 75F. Bottled after 7 days.

For the second batch, instead of leaving the black patent malt in the water until boiling, I steeped the malt in 2qts of 146-156 F water for half an hour. Then I sparged that into 4 qts of boiling water, and added malt extracts and hops.
