Notes

my first attempt at a brown porter. grist designed to be malt forward with vienna added for head retention and victory added for biscuit and bread complexity. I cold steeped the chocolate malt in 32oz cold filter water to limit astringency. hop additions are definitely on the upper end for style but believe will balance nicely with complex grist.caoco powder added late in the boil to add a dark chocolate flavor
