I am redoing my first porter but this time using Marris Otter in place of 2 Row. And the LHBS was out of S04 so I am using Windsor Ale yeast. For me this yeast always finishes with a really high OG but a porter is supposed to be malty with a lot of body so I guess that will be OK.

Re: Ralph's Muddy Paw Porter II
Let me know how it finishes. I like to use WLP002 for the yeast for porters but they were all out at the LHBS as well so went with WLP007. Attenuation is a little higher with this yeast so I am hoping it doesn't kill the body but it should be comparable.

Last time I did this recipe I used 04 and it came out absolutely perfect.

I like Windsor in stouts of the non irish dry variety. I don't know that I've used it in a porter.
Re: Ralph's Muddy Paw Porter II
I will find out. I did formulate the recipe under "Robust Stout" parameters. With this yeast it will be all of thatmashani wrote:I like Windsor in stouts of the non irish dry variety. I don't know that I've used it in a porter.
