Hey all,

My uncle is either wanting to revisit his University days or is bored out of his skull in Bathurst (Maybe he just wants good beer, also a possibility). He is looking for a Stout or Porter recipe, I have this one that I was thinking of suggesting to him. Anyone have any suggestions/modifications?
The local brew shop didn't know what Porter was, so they are limited on supplies to say the least. Most of this stuff will be shipped from Halifax.

Malt & Fermentables
46% 3lb 4.9oz Muntons Light DME 44PPG 5L
31% 2lb 3.3oz Muntons Plain Dark DME 44PPG 60L
15% 1lb 1.6oz Chocolate Malt (Thomas Fawcett) 12PPG 508L
8% 0lb 8.2oz Weyermann Caramunich I 12PPG 34L

Hops
.7oz Centenial 60 minutes

Yeast
Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast

Can't help much with the recipe, but I can give you the BCS version:

62.5% British Pale Ale LME
25% flaked barley
12.5% roasted barley
41 ibus

Put the roasted barley in a food processer to turn into dust. I'd use -05 for a stout, but nottingham is probably good too.
