Description

One of our favorite west coast porters is now available in "hombrew" form!  Our Black Butte Porter clone, commercially brewed by Deschutes Brewery in Oregon, is one of the most well rounded porters out there.  Being bittered with Bravo hops helps to initially balance the malty backbone, but that bitterness fades quickly, providing a smooth transition into the complex flavors of four different character malts.  This combination of Wheat, Carapils, Crystal 120L, and Chocolate malts create a rounded mouthfeel and chocolate flavor.  

If you like dark beers, you're going to love our Dark Hill Porter.  If you don't like dark beers, this just might be the one to change your mind!

What is the estimated Final Gravity?
R David Williams on Jan 14, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I mashed at 152F and used Nottingham yeast. After 2 weeks it finished at 1.012
for the specialty grains, do you steep them first and then remove them for the mash?
Jason Levoy on Jan 10, 2020
BEST ANSWER: There are many techniques. Most homebrewers and commercial breweries add all their grains at the same time and the same temperature. Some brewers will add their darker grains at the end of the mash just before starting the sparge so that the dark grains don't get over extracted. There are brewers who have experimented with cold-steeping dark grains, like cold brewing a tea, and adding the strained wort into the boil.
how long is the boil??? all it says it "boil last 15 mins"
Michael A Smither on Apr 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I did a standard 60’ boil.
This is by far one of my favorite Porters, and is a regular in my three tap rotation.

Superb Porter!
Used WLP002 yeast and added a vanilla bean & vodka to the secondary, and this is quite honestly one of the very best Porter examples I have ever had. Almost tastes like it was carbonated with Nitrogen it is so smooth. It's an eyebrow raising beer by all who taste it. I will brew this many times more!

Dark Hill
The batch is in the fermenter now, have not tried yet... But the pricing was good... ingredients were fresh and packed well... Brew day went great, hit my OG that I was looking for (in fact we came out slightly higher than expected)... Can’t wait to try...

Taste good going from primary to secondary fermenter.
Haven't kegged it yet but so far it tastes very good. Looking forward to it cold and carbonated.

Good brew. A little more roasty than I had anticipated. I'll drink through it pretty quickly though.

Great value Porter
This is a very balanced porter. I followed the recipe to the letter 1.051 OG fermented down to 1.012 for an ABV of 5.1% using Safale US-04 yeast. Fermentation at 64?F for 2 weeks then cold crash at 35?F for 3 days. Force carbed 25psi for 48 hours and was ready to drink. Nice smooth balanced porter, lacks a little body but for the price you can't go wrong. I may add some oatmeal next time. Cheers!
