Now available as a 1 gallon recipe kit! This original recipe brewed by White House staff is both a callback to the favored beverage of our Founding Fathers as well as an opportunity to come together in an election year and share pints across the aisle.
More than just simply black and roasty, this porter builds consensus with generous applications of sweet caramel and toasty Munich malts, while moderate bitterness and an ample dose of honey lets us all find common ground. In a year of divisive politics, we think it especially important to remember what we have in common: homebrewing!
Kit Includes: Steeping grains and mesh bag, 1 lb. DME, hops, 2 oz. honey, yeast, fizz drops.
Whenever something goes wrong, I typically blame myself. I have had great customer service time after time and numerous great experiences with all the kits and ingredients I have ordered.
I feel this is a great kit, but unfortunately I think when I do smaller boils -I tend to end up with a more...homebrew, syrup like taste at times. Since I have done numerous 5 gallon kits and recipes using NB ingredients, I feel I can't give a 100% review on this, but chalk it up to being my issues during the boil. I can and will review the great customer service, excellent details and instructions and freshness of the ingredients -all of which were five stars.
Either way, I am glad to have tried and will be trying again!

The yeast was dead, so I had to sub my own, but no biggie. The brew was tasty; the process was simple enough; and I think it's neat that Obama is a homebrewer. I would brew this one again.

Whitehouse Honey Porter
This was my first attempt at brewing a beer and the people at Northern Brewer made it very easy. Directions were very clear and easy to follow, and the final product tasted great. My only complaint would be the carbonation drops, after leaving my bottles alone for 4 weeks, I had barely any carbonation. Would recommend using priming sugar instead.

Trouble with Porter
I brewed the Porter but the taste was not good. The smell was fine but
It came out very dark color when I think it was supposed to be a
Lighter
Color. The smell seemed fine. Not sure what happened.
