My first twosome

Saturday, October 8th, I brewed two different beers. They are both are brewed with dry malt extract (dme) and specialty malts. The first is a Brown Porter. I will add a couple of vanilla beans to the secondary to make a Vaniila Porter. I brewed this same recipe in the fall of 2010. It turned out pretty good so I didn't make any changes to the recipe this time. The second beer is a Spiced Winter Ale. I used my Scotch Ale recipe as the base and added a winter ale spice kit from Northern Brewer and about a half ounce dried sweet orange peel. The Scotch Ale has a low hop content so the hops should not interfere with the spice.
