  fermentation takes place. it's just done to clarifiy and condition the beer. the yeast is not
  doing any real wor...

  Just brewed my first stout and the OG was 1.083. The gravity has been steady at 1.033 for the

  The attenuation does seem kind of low butI'd say if the recipe calls for 1.025 and you hit
  1.025and it's done fermenting you did pretty good.Does it taste too sweet?No, the sample tasted
  quite fine th...

  Found a recipe on here (linked to a different site) for an extract brew of a favorite beer of
  mine that unfortunately is not sold near me: Obsidian Stout by Deschutes Brewery.Here is the
  recipe that I...

  Those instructions are more or less right.When you take out the grain, then throw it away. Or
