Okay, I'll chuck my 10 pen'th in! As it stands, I see no issues with your recipe. I've not used molasses myslf, but I'm sure it'll be fine. I'd certainly agree with your yeast choice. For comparison I've done two porters myself, the second recipe being here;

This is in the FV at the moment, so I can't give you much on it. The first porter I did is here;

To my mind this was highly successful. The second go has a few tweaks to get the flavour profile closer to what I want (we'll see if it works!) and, of course, the use of TV3.

In the final analysis I'd say, give it a go as is, and see how it turns out. Then you can make such changes as you want (if any) to get the final result you're after. And also, let us know how you get on.

thanx mate!
i'm new to this word so i need to be encouraged...

Lots of cheap beer; suitably encouraged? Seriously, it's great fun this brewing lark, and it's also very difficult to brew 'bad' beer. Get stuck in, experiment, watch your techniques etc etc... But mainly, have fun!
