Hi Chaps,
I'm keen on mixing things up a touch for my next kit, and am looking for suggestions on how to approach improving the 2 can porter kit.
I was thinking of adding cocoa powder and blackberries, but not sure on how much and when to add, any pointers?
cheers

Re: Modifying a Muntons Dockland Porter Kit
anyone tried something like this...
Make kit as normal in primary for 5d
Rack to secondary onto:
2.5 kg of frozen blackberries squashed and pasturised for 15mins @ 70c, then cooled to ambient.
60g of cocoa powder in secondary, just sprinkled/stired in half way through 10d.
Left for say 10d in secondary?
how does that sound?
I'm worried I'd be adding too many fermentables?
