Step 3: Combining the Flavors
Once the spice mixture has cooled, strain it into your fermenter. Make sure to remove any large pieces of spices before adding it to the beer. Let the beer sit for another week to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 4: Bottling and Enjoying
After two weeks of fermentation, it's time to bottle your Mexican chocolate porter. Add priming sugar to the beer and transfer it to sanitized bottles.
