About to start my second beer, so still a beginner. Can any one
suggest a good Porter kit? Is it to soon to brew a Porter, meaning do
you need to be more adept at brewing.

I like west cost porters like Sierra Nevada Porter, Full Sail Porter
(Oregon), etc, so anything similar would be great.

Thanks!

I'd recommend the Porter kit sold by Dan Listermann (listermann.com).
It ferments quickly, so there's some chance of your airlock being blown
out of the lid of your fermenter by the foam... For the first couple of
days, I keep the fermenter in my bathtub, with the shower curtain drawn,
to contain any eruptions.

I did a stout my first batch, and I'm doing a porter on my 3rd. They're not
any more difficult than anything else I've brewed (which isn't much).
I get my kits from The Beernut, in slc. [url]www.beernut.com[/url]
