Im interested in doing a sarsparilla porter. Possibly with added vanilla.
I have never brewed before but this is sort of a dream beer of mine which i have never actually seen before. I am going to obviously start brewing simple kits first and then experiment once i have the hang of it.
Im just wondering if it would be possible to mix a sarsparilla kit (colony west) with a dark ale or port or stout kit and brew them togeather? Would both yeasts need to be identical? Or would i just use a single packet of yeast? Would i add the same amount of sugar 1kg per kit? So 2kg in total? And would i just double the water 23lx2 so 46 litres? I do have a fermentor big enough to handle that size a brew. Also if i wanted to ad vanilla essence would i add it prior to bottleing or before fermenting. Could i used real vanilla. Also curious about cinnamon. Anyway just food for thought. I know i have a long way to go. Thanks
