I've bookmarked this one to give it a try - I always enjoy a great porter (though I like them year round).
I have been making a version of this recipe (all grain) for several years. It is always popular.
Use 2 beans (Madagascar) in Secondary 
by beerman1957
Using two beans that are hulled out, split in half.
Use 6 lbs DME- Amber or 9-10 lbs of Maris Otter and increase to 2 lbs of 40L crystal.
Thanks Chris

I brewed this porter minus the vanilla and entered it in a competition under the Robust Porter category, 7 other entries and took 1st place. Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks to all of you.

I'm new to the brewing hobby/passion and at this time an extract brewer. I have brewed a couple of kit brews because I had no idea where to begin. Found BeerSmith and all of you. Wow! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and recipes. I'm 70 and feel like a kid in a candy store
My favorite winter beer
by newtExcellent vanilla porter. Try it with real vanilla beans too! This recipe is courtesy of The Brew Hut and Dry Dock Brewing Company in Aurora, Colorado. I encourage you to stop by there sometime when you are in the neighborhood!
