Yeah I was wonderig about that is OK if we disscuss in Slovene? @Miha7 Kaksen hmelj imate? Kako ga pakirate? Poslji mi vec informacij na [email protected]. LP

Thats it... Otherwise beer tools offers limited calculation online for free http://www.beertools.com. And the recipe (although it a dumb thing to say to a beginer) is right don't worry too much. When the fermentation stops, bottle and see what it's like. If you're using kits than you can't be...

Porters & Stouts are great for first time brew! They can be very forgiving as the strong taste will normaly cover the minor screw ups...

I'd allways go for a longer bottle conditioing. Generaly I try to have it in the bottle for at least 4 weeks or more (much more depending on the beer). I find that the beer mellows more nicely this way. In your case two in the primary and three in the bottle sounds good. How is the beer going...

Yep... A mint chocolate sotut, it was f****** awful.. :) Congrats on your first brew!
