A good porter but light on vanilla

As title said - this recipe makes a good porter, but if you are looking for a vanilla porter ala Breckenridge, there really isn't much vanilla character in the finished product. Maybe need to add an extra vanilla bean (?) or some vanilla extract to secondary? Hard to say - we didn't rush secondary fermentation so time wasn't the issue.

Wow!

This is by far my favorite of the all-grain recipes I have brewed. Rich taste, full body. Just like a good porter should be.

Q: I do 2.5 gallon batches. Are the different grains separated so I can accurately scale/split this kit?

Asked by: Mike - 8/22/2017

A: The grains order as a kit would be combined into 1 package when shipped. A recipe sheet can be provided to order the grains individually, but this would fall under the a la cart pricing for each grain as it is ordered

Q: At what point in the process do you add the vanilla beans?

Asked by: Jesse - 8/20/2015

A: Typically you would add the sanitized vanilla beans to the secondary. We recommend making a tincture by splitting the vanilla beans and soaking them in vodka. Then you can pour the vanilla tincture into the bottling/kegging phase to taste.
