Okay, really, this is a really good beer. Oh I forgot, I added Irish Moss to the boil during the last 10 minutes. ( I didn't measure but about a teaspoon)

Notes

My brew session extended after midnight, thus the name of the recipe. It is loosely based off of Number 7 Porter here on BeerTools.com. Mash time - 90 min. with a 60 minute sparge. Mash style - single infusion/155F Mash out at 165F 3 day primary ferment/10 day secondary-Used Cooper's dry yeast because it was cheap and available. This is my first attempt at a Porter Wow! What a nice beer.
