I really, seriously, did think before going "pro" that it'd be helpful if not necessary to go to Davis. Now not so much if that's what's being taught, particularly the stuff being stated by you,...

End of primary fermentation is indicated when there's one bubble per 2:30 to 3:00 minutes, I thought everyone knew that.

I personally currently prefer, with my system (10 gal cooler MLT, fly sparge), to skip the mash out step, and instead use that volume of water that I'd use to get to mashout temp as part of the...

I don't think you'd be able to tell if the priming sugar had been fermented because a hydrometer isn't accurate enough to detect such a small change. Best bet is to bottle immediately after priming...

Unfortunately you have no idea of knowing how much of the priming sugar was already fermented over the weekend. My guess is that most if not all was already used up.

You probably just had a typo - but that recipe says "Replace the wheat malt syrup with 3.5 pounds of pale malt. Increase the Munich malt to 4 pounds and the wheat malt to 4 pounds."

It is only important to measure pre-boil gravity if you mash grains, (i.e. all-grain, or maybe partial mash). Even then it's not "necessary" to measure it. Extract brewers, or extract brewers that...

The cost around here is about $80 to purchase a full 5# aluminum tank, and exchanges are in the $20-$25 ballpark, even from a local welding shop. I called around a while back, and as I recall I could...

60F isn't too low for most yeast particularly if you're referring to the ambient temp (not the actual temp inside the fermenter). You'll probably want to set your temp controller about 5 degrees less...

It looks normal to me; it's hard to tell what the yellow stuff is, but krausen typically looks pretty nasty in general. When a beer is fermenting, a krausen can really start to form and get pushed...
