Vanilla Java Porter

[bannerj]

Playing around with the Atwater and the Everett Porter recipes I've seen floating around. Doing the vanilla java because a friend's wife is now digging beer and they want to brew with me. I'll add the vanilla and cold brew coffee in the secondary.

Your feedback will help us spread the beer gospel to wives all around.

Here are some notes on what I'm after:

A sweeter, full body with subtle vanilla and coffee notes. I'll mash at a higher temp of course and pitch the cold brewed coffee and vanilla extract (I have some straight from the DR) a week or so before kegging. Here I'm mostly interested in feedback on the porter grain profile.

Thanks for your help!

Seems like an awful lot of of fermentables to only achieve that SG of 1.066. Sounds like a good beer though and I always love i when friends get into the hobby too.
