I brewed your DDR Porter recipe from the Beer Advocate article a couple years ago, using Maris Otter as the pale malt and a mix of Munich and Vienna for the 70% Munich called for (it's what I had on hand), fermented with Altbier yeast and with my favorite strain of wild-caught Brett added at kegging. Turned out delicious, I'd love it if more commercial breweries would produce a strong Brett-conditioned porter! Next time you're in Portland Oregon I'd be happy to brew it again and give you some bottles! <br />Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843508410334978436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-34326620006087197822022-06-28T04:20:59.374-07:002022-06-28T04:20:59.374-07:00Yeah, most "German Porter" is/was awful ...Yeah, most "German Porter" is/was awful sweet stuff, and much of the current craft Porter is English or American in style, but there's a few honourable exceptions, e.g. Cologne's Freigeist does a DDR-style Porter complete with Brett & salt.

But I doubt there was any continuity with these DDR beers - it was pretty strong, but it was really sweet; any Brett was very well hidden.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-76269891488988361882022-06-28T01:38:42.660-07:002022-06-28T01:38:42.660-07:00Didn't realize there were so many DDR brewerie...Didn't realize there were so many DDR breweries making porter. Until recently, Weyermann had a recipe on their site for German Porter which mentioned the DDR in the introduction. I no longer see it on the Weyermann site, but I think I have a copy of it somewhere, if anyone's interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
