(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
10/5/2014 Added yeast to wort. Package did not swell. Yeast was bad and did nothing. Need to repitch.
10/8/2014 Fermentation started before I could repitch. Bubbling really well after 4 days. Did not repitch, we'll see what happens.
10/12/2014 Still fermenting. Down to about one bubble every second. Another day or two I will transfer and add cherries.
10/13/2014 Transferred to secondary, 5 gallons on top of 1 jar of maraschino cherries with juice. 3/4 gallon into a one gallon bottle, plain. Gravity 1.035
10/20/2014 Added 2 Vanilla Beans and 1 ounce Jim Beam Devils Cut 90 proof bourbon.
10/23/2014 Added 1 ounce toasted oak chips soaked in 1.5 ounces Jim Beam Devils Cut 90 proof bourbon. Tasted a small sample, tasted wonderful. Bottled small bottle of plain porter, 8 bottles, 3/4 gallon, .75 ounce honey to prime. FG 1.030. Kind of high, we'll see how it turns out. Used 5 ounces honey. Bottled 45.5 12 ounce bottles, 3 22 ounce bottles.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.70gallonsliters at 1.051 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.061.
You wanted an OG of 1.084. It looks like it will be under.
