I want to try and do something a little different and have it ready to pass out by Christmas.
I am thinking about doing a porter with cranberries and then throwing in some almond brandy and maybe a vanilla bean.
How long should something like this sit in the secondary and bottles before I can hand them out for the holidays?
I am not sure if there is an actual almond flavored brandy yet but if not I can infuse the brandy myself.
Anyone have any suggestions on this? I am fairly new to brewing so I am always open to ideas and criticism.
