By popular demand, the Can You Brew It crew revisits Deschutes Brewery to attempt to clone their beautiful Black Butte Porter. Brewer Jimmy Seifrits joins the discussion to reveal the intricacies of the beer and Tasty sets out to brew it. Will he succeed? Tune in and find out!
I just noticed a difference between the numbers the brewer gives for this beer and the numbers Tasty provides. Brewer: starting gravity 1.055 to 1.058, finishing gravity: 1.016 to 1.018, abv 5.6%. Tasty: starting gravity: 1.058, finishing gravity: 1.012, abv 6.1%. This is a reasonable difference between the brews - and yet they taste the same? Could this be that the clone has a slightly higher bitterness?
