Notes

Vanilla Porter, brewed this one a bunch but used Vienna Malt for the bulk of fermentables for this one instead of 2-Row because that's what I had to get rid of. Also, the brew store was out of flaked barley, so this one got flaked oats instead. 3 Madagascan (Bourbon Island) vanilla beans split and scraped added to the secondary fermenters along with a cup of bourbon to saitize them.
