Notes

Testing this water profile. It is the Deschutes black butte porter profile from:

Inspiration from:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/378043/coconut-porter

I have brewed this beer several times using the same grain bill as the above linked recipe and its always great even using untreated tap water

LBS did not have pale chocolate or a 350L chocolate malt available - using simpsons chocolate and carafa 1 as substitutes for this run.
