Awesome. Its always good finding a forum where everyone is polite and more than happy to help! Yeah, it seems to me either you hate coconut or you love it. I just happen to love it :p

Is it a no-no to ask for help putting a recipe together? I am a new brewer and only have two extracts under my belt, and they were both from an assembled kit with instructions. Id like to put together my own recipe for a 3 gallon batch of milk stout with shredded coconut added in after racking...

Ginger ale

Oh wow...how unfortunate. :/

Yeah this is actually my second batch, Ive racked off of a yeast cake before. I was just under the impression that these proteins and the cake were one in the same. It was Nottingham ale yeast that came with the kit.

Ahhh, cool cool. Yeah, you're right. I would post a picture if I had a halfway decent camera but my phone is my only resource which wouldnt give a good enough picture anyhow. But its cool cause I trust ya :)

Well, I am seeing what appears to be a good inch or more of sediment. Perhaps some bits of grain escaped my steeping bag and settled out?

Well where else would the yeast have went? It all settled to the bottom, and didnt do much else at all.

Attempting to ferment an irish stout and my yeast is dead. Before pitching a fresh pack, should I rack the stout off of the dead yeast cake and clean my primary (6.5gal carboy) or should I just pitch it in with the dead yeast?

How important is the 15 minutes suggested rehydration time on my yeast packet? I brought a cup of water to 90 degrees and mixed in my yeast only i didnt let it sit for 15 minutes because I am an impatient son of a *****. It is nottingham ale yeast, by the way.
