I'm planning on buying a Vanilla porter kit from Austin Homebrew Supply and I've got a few questions.
I've read that a beer like a porter or a stout takes longer to be drinkable than an average ale would. I usually bottle my beers about 3 weeks after brew day and let them bottle condition for another 3-4 weeks before trying them. What would the schedule be like for a porter?
Secondly, I never use a secondary. If a porter does in fact take longer would it be better for me to buy one and rack it to a secondary once I reach FG?
