Got a wild hair on the way home from work tonight and stopped by the LHBS, to pick up a few things for this weekends brew, got home and decided that I would brew this up tonight. Just pitched US-05 at 68*F.
Will add the vanilla as noted once primary is complete. Never made a porter before, hope it turns out good. I am looking for a beer with a good mouth feel tasting notes should be chocolate up front with hints of caramel, vanilla, and black licorice. Hope it turns out!
