I decided to write my own recipe today and I would like some feedback on how you might think this would turn out. My vision for the beer was a great porter with large hints of caramel/toffee flavor with a slight hint of vanilla.
Here it is for a 5 gallon batch:
OG: 1.057 FG: TBD
Grain
9.6 LBS Pale Malt
1.6 LBS Crystal 60 Malt
1.5 LBS Brown Malt
.7 LBS Chocolate Malt
.3 LBS Black Malt
Hops
1 1/2 Oz Goldings - 60 mins
1/2 Oz Saaz - 2 mins
Other
1/4 TBS Irish Moss - 10 mins
2 Vanilla Beans - Primary (Chopped in vodka for 1 week prior)
Yeast
British Ale Yeast
Mash
10 Quarts water @ 133 degrees for 30 mins
Add 5 Quarts water @ 145 degrees for 45 mins
Raise to 158 for 20 mins, 167 for 1 min
Sparge with 3 gallons @ 170 degrees
