Porter recipe
Hi, I have in mind brewing a traditional English Porter but with a modern twist. I heard that some pro brewers (Eg Meantime) throw in some actual cooking chocolate? Not sure about that, but anyone got any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Re: Porter recipe
Not sure entirely what you want but if you are curious about what you can add to a porter, take a look at this list. Coincidentally, I was reading this last night.

Re: Porter recipe
Salivating at the thought of that one mate.
I'm a BIG fan of porters. Stouts seem to get all the glory, but I rekon that a nice porter with the chocolate and coffee notes and none of the roasty toasty nonsense is the way forward. In fact, I might just kibosh a beer I've been planning just to try this!
