Brewed last night. All grain. Sample tasted good. Ended up with little too much wort. Wrong calculation on my part. Live and learn. Fermentation started in about 2 hours. Had to hook up blow off tube. Looking good.

Thanks for the recipe.

Brewed this for the first time tonight! I followed the recipe almost exactly, but I added more dark grains and cold steeped them, instead of mashing them...as my water is no good for mashing dark grains.

I also boosted the OG by adding some light DME, which got me to 1.063. Also used 2 vanilla beans in the boil for 20 mins, and will add 2 more vanilla beans in the secondary. Also I used SF 04 - it's the only english ale yeast I could find that won't be too dry.

Cannot WAIT to try this sucker! I'll post my results. Thanks for posting.

As I type this, my second batch of this delicious brew is boiling merrily on the stove in the kitchen. It is currently just about noon...I started heating the mash water around 930am this morning, and I should have the beer in the 6 gallon Better Bottle and everything cleaned up and put away by 115pm. And then the wait begins! It should be ready right around Easter. Oh, yum!!!

Brewed a modified 1.084 OG All Grain version of this yesterday. Can't wait to taste it! I have a 1.070 version on tap now and I really like it. Thanks OP!

Just tried my first bottle of this over the weekend. It's only been carbing for 2 weeks, but damn is it tasty already. Thanks for the receipe!

Going on about 5 weeks in the bottle after a 1 month primary, and this stuff is great. I've had people tell me that this is a beer they would buy. Mine turned out a bit thin, but I'll try mashing a bit higher next time, but as is, it looks like a beer that will be a staple around my house. :-)

The Denny's yeast is key. Just sayin. I love it for all stouts/porters.

I just drank my last bottle from when I was brewing one gallon batches at the beginning of last year. It was amazing! That was also when I was learning about flaked barley. A pound goes into any brew now and DCS is a regular.

Body, body, body.

Flaked Barley would be a very welcome addition. I never thought about using it, but with the lactose, it would really make a nice full-bodied stout.
