Almost 2 weeks since a recipe was posted, so time to change that. Tasted my first all-grain porter last night. Added cold steeped coffee and vanilla puree when I kegged it, so final verdict is still TBD. Here's the base recipe though.

6 lbs 2 Row
6 lbs Maris Otter
12 oz Carapils/Dextrine
12 oz Caramel/Crystal 40L
10 oz Chocolate Malt
6 oz Black Patent Malt

Mash for 60 minutes at 152.
Batch sparge with 4.25 gallons at 168.

1.5 oz Northern Brewer 60 minutes
0.5 oz Northern Brewer 0 minutes

White Labs London Ale (WLP013) with yeast starter.

Fermented for 20 days. Cold steeped 4 oz of dark roast coffee grounds in 1 quart of water for 24 hours. Added to keg along with 1.5 oz of vanilla puree before kegging.

SG 1.068
FG 1.014
ABV 7.1%
IBUs 36.5

I've never used vanilla puree, is this similar to vanilla extract or pureed vanilla beans?

Looks good!

I've thought about posting my simple saison but it really is so simple that it probably isn't worthy of taking space in this thread. I want to tweak my 100% brett strawberry wheat / hoppy wheat (same base brew for each) before posting it and want to see how my 100% brett pale ale tastes after carbonation before posting it.

Final verdict is

Best beer I've ever made. Perfect blend of coffee and vanilla, neither of which overpowers. The coffee is prevelant on the nose and on the front end, with the vanilla on the back. Very smooth. I will make this one again, and soon. Probably gonna brew it for Zapp's.
