Porter Day Continued...
I took a final gravity reading after a week of fermentation. It came out to 1.010 giving it an ABV of 5.34%. 1.010 is a little lower than I had initially wanted but upon tasting, the mouthfeel isn't too light. There's a huge nose of roasted grain and a little chocolate. Its almost like sticking your nose into a sack of crushed chocolate malt. I'm thinking the graininess will subside with another week or two in the fermenter. Taste is another matter. Its alot lighter than I would have liked. We'll see how its turns out once its kegged and carbonated. I'll probably leave it in the primary for another two weeks and cold crash it right before I siphon it into the keg.
