Hello all. Im new here - obv - and had a few questions. I've just started brewing and have gone through 4 successful (shockingly) rounds with some good results. I am now attempting a clone of the Atwater Brewing Company's Vanilla Java Porter, estimated ABV about 4.5-5. Pardon my ignorance here, but I've just been following directions and learning as I got so far. I was wondering what the best course of action would be to double the ABV? Also, Im assuming this will change the flavor/taste of the brew slightly but by how much? I love Porters but find most often that the recipe's tend to be pretty light and I was looking for more of a kick in the pants beer to warm the body for the cold winter nights in Western NY. Thanks
