Thanks for the recipe. I bought all the ingredients yesterday from my LHBS. I swapped the yeast for Notty and the DME for LME (5.7lbs) but the gave me 6 since their cups have pre measured lines. They had DME, but he recommended I only buy their LME since it is fresh. Hopefully he lead me down a good path.
I will be brewing this up on Sunday. I also bought vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. I want to split the batch in 3's (as is, vanilla, and cocoa). Since I'm new to brewing, I want to give myself variations and test my taste buds. Hopefully, everything turns out and I learn a little.
**Edit** In case anyone was interested I bought together the "kit" price for this beer.
