The Dad Bod Porter Beer Kit – All Grain is the perfect brewing experience for those who appreciate a smooth, roasty beer with rich, satisfying flavors but without the heavy calorie load. With a balanced 3.8% ABV, this porter is designed for easy drinking, whether you’re enjoying a backyard barbecue or relaxing after a long day. It features an enticing blend of chocolate, caramel, and coffee notes, creating a deep yet approachable flavor profile.
Crafted with a blend of quality malts, including 6 lbs of Brewers 2-Row Malt as the base, this kit forms a solid foundation for the porter. The 1 lb of Chocolate Malt 350L adds a delightful depth of rich cocoa, while the 0.5 lb of Caramel Malt 60L contributes a smooth sweetness that enhances the beer’s overall balance. The addition of 0.5 lb of Roasted Barley gives it a distinct roasted character that provides complexity without overpowering the beer’s drinkability.
For hop character, the Dad Bod Porter uses 1 oz of Fuggle Hops, added at the 60-minute mark of the boil for a mild bitterness that complements the malt profile. The 1 oz of East Kent Goldings Hops, added later at 10 minutes, contributes subtle earthy and herbal notes, creating a harmonious finish that invites you to take another sip.
The SafAle S-04 yeast used in this kit ensures a clean, well-rounded fermentation, enhancing the beer's smoothness and drinkability. The resulting brew has an IBU of 25, offering just the right level of bitterness to balance the sweetness of the malts.
With a final gravity of 1.011 and a relatively low BU/GU ratio of 0.66, the Dad Bod Porter is a smooth, approachable beer that delivers great flavor without overwhelming your palate. Whether you’re brewing for yourself or sharing with friends, this easy-drinking porter is an ideal addition to your homebrew collection.
Perfect for those who prefer beers that are rich in flavor but light on alcohol, the Dad Bod Porter Beer Kit offers an enjoyable brewing experience and a fantastic finished beer to savor.
