http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/any-founders-porter-clone-recipes-info-160119/ ==================== Forgot I even posted this. I made a great clone, thanks to a an awesome response from Founder's when I e-mailed them for help. Here's my recipe for 5 gallons finished beer: 9.5 lbs 2 Row 1.25 lbs Chocolate Malt 1 lb Munich 10 oz Carapils 6 oz Crystal 120 L 4 oz Black Patent Mashed at 155 for 60 minutes 75 Minute Boil Hops: 60 min - 0.75 oz Nugget (12.2%) 20 min - 0.75 oz Hallertau (4.5%) and 0.75 Willamette (4.9%) Flameout - 0.25 oz Hallertau and 0.25 oz Willamette For yeast, I used WLP001. I intentionally made a final beer was a bit drier and thinner than Founder's, but the aroma and flavor were dead on. It was one of my best beers. I will definitely make it again, but I think I'll switch the base malt for Marris Otter next time and mash a couple of degrees higher. The also use Crystal hops, not Hallertau, but that was a substitution by necessity that turned out just fine. The hop flavor is not that predominant with all the malt flavors taking over. Enjoy! ==================== Found it: We use a large percentage of specialty grains in this one… try about 10% Chocolate Malt, 7% Munich, 5% Carapils, and 3% Crystal Dark. I also throw in a little bit of Black Malt for a slightly burnt character. Mash in around 155 degrees and target an OG between 17 and 18 Plato. We use Nugget hops for bittering and Willamette and Crystal for flavor/finishing hops, targeting 45 IBUs. Ferment with an American yeast and it should terminate between 5 and 6 Plato, leaving you with 6.5% ABV and a full bodied robust Porter. Good luck, hope this helps.
