Vanilla Porter: Bottling
-- A Taste from TheInkFlowsLikeWine.com
Last night I bottled up my vanilla porter and had a quick taste to see how it came out. The porter base was quite amazing as the recipe maker noted, and the vanilla flavor was very forward of course, considering it'd been sitting in the beans for eight days. While the recipe says to wait 2 weeks before opening, I may open after a week and a few days, because I sort of want the vanilla flavor to not to fade.
At this point, I've got enough hops to make a new batch, so I may hit up the store in the next few days, alter the grain recipe a bit to make my own brand of vanilla porter, and see how that comes out... Either way, the uncarbonated version of this beer tasted AMAZING, so I'm really pumped to crack one in a week or so.
