Heartbreak Porter: Hops!

So, as mentioned, I'll be posting a recipe I'm creating step-by-step for class. Last week I put up the malt bill; this week the hops!

So, malt is super sweet and without hops to balance it out, you're going to have cloying, awful sugar booze...

I've decided to go with Bravo for bittering due to it's high alpha acid % (and I know we have it in the brewery). For aroma, I've decided to go with a 30 minute addition of Willamette and another addition at flameout.... I think it'll give my porter some nice floral notes and some grassy zest....

And while we're on the subject of hops, here's a picture of a Hallertauer Hop Queen.... Just for funzies :)
