My favorite winter beer

Excellent 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!

This looks great!

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
