Hello. I just ordered the porter kit from Midwest, and was wondering if anyone has tried this kit, and if there is anything I need to change to make this better? Thanks for any advise

I have brewed it..... I racked it on top of 3 sliced vanilla beans and it turned into a nice vanilla porter!

I was thinking more of a chocolate, and or espresso, but that sounds good also!

I just had a bottle of my midwest porter a few minutes ago! I've brewed it twice now and just follow the kit as is. It's turned out excellent both times. I thought about adding coffee to the last batch but got lazy. I think the coffee/espresso would definitely be a great idea though!

I've brewed it. I just tried a bottle, Not quite carbonated but good. I added a pound of dark brown sugar. I think I would do coffee or vanilla like others have said
