Notes: Adapted from a Founders Porter clone recipe found on Homebrew Talk: https://homebrewtalk.com/threads/any-founders-porter-clone-recipes-or-info.160119/post-2063514

- Reduced Chocolate Malt from 1.25 to 1 lb

- Swapped out 6 oz Crystal Malt (120L) for 6 oz English Dark Crystal Malt (80L)

- MISTAKE: Munich Malt is a base malt, so I should not have steeped it as a specialty grain, at least not a whole pound of it. I'll see how the beer comes out with it steeped, but next time I will use 6 lbs of Gold LME and 2 lbs of Munich LME, without steeping any Munich Malt (OR do a partial mash, but I don't have the equipment for that yet). I might also reduce the amount of Carapils since there is a small amount of that in Briess Gold LME.

Brewing, Finishing, and Packaging Notes:

Brewed: Sunday, November 22nd, 2025
- OG: 1.057

Tested (first sample): Friday, December 5th, 2025

- FG: 1.013 or 1.014 (75% attenuation; 5.64% ABV)
- Raised temperature of primary fermnenter to 70 degrees

Tested (second sample): Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- FG: 1.012 (78% attenuation; 5.91% ABV)

Bottled (without hazelnut or vanilla additions): Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- 11 12-ounce bottles with fizzy drops

Hazelnut Addition: Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- Roasted 13 ounces of raw hazelnuts for 25 minutes at 325 degrees
- Blanched roasted hazelnuts in 190 degree water for 5 minutes, then transferred to bowl of ice water and rubbed off the skins as much as possible
- Added hazelnuts to “Depth Charge” stainless steel mesh filter infuser and dropped into primary fermenter

Tested (third sample) on Sunday, December 14th, 2025 (7 days of hazelnut infusion)
- Hazelnut aroma and flavor was subtle but present
- I considered leaving them in for a few more days, but I want to see how the subtler nuttiness works with the vanilla addition

Prepared Vanilla Tincture: Sunday, December 14th, 2025
- Mixed 3.5 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste into 3 teaspoons (1 tbsp) of bourbon and placed in refrigerator
- Planning to add vanilla tincture when kegging

Added Vanilla-Bourbon Tincture and Kegged: Wednesday, December 17th, 2025
- Added entire tincture (3.5 tsp mixed in 1 tbsp of bourbon)
- Racked into keg and set CO2 to 20 psi

Tasting Notes:
- Body is a bit lighter than I expected, I wonder if it would be worth using more Carapils next time. This could also be attributed to steeping the Munich malt instead of mashing.
- Vanilla flavor is present while not being too dominant, which I was concerned about. I would also be willing to add 1 more teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, but I assume any more would be too much and even 1 more teaspoon might produce more vanilla flavor than I like.
- Hazelnut is subtle and mostly shows on the finish; Next time, I will let the hazelnuts rest in the fermenter for at least 10 days.
- Overall, I'm very happy with this beer. It would be interesting to try this again with a more stout-like grain bill or with smaller adjustments that give it a fuller body.

Pre-Brew Notes:
- Will add detail for the hazelnut and vanilla additions for secondary after more research.
- I plan to add ~6-12 ounces of roasted, chopped hazelnuts for up to a week after primary fermentation is completed.
- I plan to add 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla bean paste mixed into vodka or bourbon after removing the hazelnuts.
