First self made all grain recipe. The goal was to make a base Porter recipe on which to build. The addition of cacoa nibs to the secondary fermentation adds a nice earthy nutty flavor and bitter, but it tastes fine without it.

Special Instructions
1.A longer secondary fermentation (min 2 weeks) allows the yeast to reach a higher attenuation in my experience. Otherwise the beer might become a little sweet.
