Poochie Porter

2012 Batch #01 - Robust Porter (brewed 01/29/2012)

I brewed 8 gallons at Ryan's house; 5g for me, and 3g for the BWCC Ice Bowl. I am going to have to come up with a "Llama" name for that one... Llama Squirts is the current leader in the clubhouse.

Had a brief issue with the rubber gasket on the propane regulator, but Ryan had a spare.  I still nailed both my OG and volume so that was nice.

I milled @ Scotzins and used nylon bags for the hops
