Loved the recipe. As a newer brewer, it was easy to follow. However, I'd caution against using the recommended 1/2 cup brown sugar to prime your two gallons. That's about 7 times the recommended carbonation for a porter. I popped my first boutlet open and it exploded, happened twice since, way too much carbonation. That being said, I'm very much looking forward to brewing this again. The few sips that managed to get into the glass were fantastic.

Beware, this is a very high abv brew but it tastes great!
