I never bottle before 2 weeks. There are all kinds of fermentation by-products that the yeast will clean up after active fermentation is over. I routinely go 3- 6 weeks and have even let one go 8....

I always use fresh dry yeast when bottling. If you think about it, the yeast in your beer is very stressed by the time you bottle, especially if you have a big beer. Some fresh yeast will actually...

I always have a packet of a clean, dry yeast in the fridge. I always sprinkle a little into the bottling bucket so there is some fresh yeast for carbonation.

I always lauter into buckets first. I started this to compensate for a smallish pot, but now I use it as a grant. You could just hold on to the buckets until your first boil is done.

I think you would need to cook them first, like with cereal adjuncts. The only thing I would worry about is the fat content affecting the head retention.

The priming sugar is to create carbonation in the bottle. You want to add it to your bottling bucket at the time of bottling. If you add it before, then the yeast will consume the sugar and you won't...

1.012 is just an estimate. Any number of factors can affect attenuation. 75f is pretty warm, which could have made the yeast more active. Enjoy your beer.

I'd say the most critical things to start out with are something to boil in, something to chill with, and something to ferment in. When and if you feel like moving to all grain, there is the matter...

Did you test at brew temps? I usually don't find much evidence of flaked grains at the end of mashing. I also usually do a beta-glucan rest when I use adjuncts like this.

Oh, I thought you were going to directly fire the wood. With that in mind, I don't see any problem as long as you don't have direct contact with flame

Not even touching on the flammability, I don't think wood would be very efficient at transferring heat, so you're going to need to apply more heat for the same temperature rise.

I have started stirring when adding priming solution(gently, mind you) and have been getting much more consistent carbonation when bottling. Don't worry.

I do sour mashes 2-3 times a year. I take about 20-30% of my grist and do a saccharification infusion in a small cooler. After it cools down to 120, I inoculate it with a small handful of unmilled...
