when making a 5 gal batch of beer,what is the average amount of grains used . this batch I'm trying to make is a dark porter should I use .5lbs 1 lbs or 1.5 lbs.I have the rest of the ingredients. I can buy this kit, but I would like to come close as I can without buying the kit. all my hunting buddies just loved it.and I would like to have some ready for around the camp fire this fall thank Jim


There's just no "average" amount. It depends on the beer style, the amount of beer you're making, what kind of grain it is, and a lot of other things.
