Thanks for the replys, I will probably mix the amount for 5 gallons and then use half that amount. Should make it easier.

Bottling tomorrow not sure how much corn sugar to use in 2.3 gallons of Scotch ale.

What is the purpose of a 10 day cold crash? Seems like over kill. Maybe 7 days and raise temp to 70 and bottle.

I'm in!

Wow nice stuff. I want some.

That's what I was thinking, Thanks.

Brewing an Alaskan Amber clone all grain and the recipe calls for a 15 day secondary @ 40 deg then bottle and 10 days @ 50deg. Somewhat understand the 40 deg cold crash but will it carbonate at 50. Used Wyeast 1007.

I brewed a Milk Stout and added 2lbs lactose on mistake should have been 1lb. OG was 1.067 FG was 1.028. Waiting impatiently for carbonation. Tasted good going into bottles.

Bottled Sunday FG 1.024 four days straight. Tasted really good now the hard part waiting for carbonation!

I almost gave up brewing all together brewing extract. Could never get past the "funk taste" the 3 or four hours saved to me is not worth the trade off in taste.

Recipe is from beer smith "Jens peanut butter milk chocolate stout. I left the peanut butter part out.

Its a stout and has been in primary for only 5 days. The extra lactose probably explains the higher gravity. I will plug the info into bf when I get a minute. I am sure it will drop a few points b4 bottling time. Just glad to know I didn't ruin it with the extra sugar!

Transferred to secondary tonight, sample tasted great texture a little thick but not bad. Only concern OG. started at 1.066 now at 1.028.

I hate liver my wife loves it! Point being everyone has different taste.

Lol, lucky not to be lactose intolerant hopefully its not to sweet to drink. Thanks for the reply.
