I wonder if they changed the setting on thier crush. My last three bathces from them have come in under gravity by 4-8 points. Nothing has changed in my process and I even mased for 90 minutes on the last one. I always used to come in slightly above gravity with them, even if I wound up with a...

fermenting at 68 degrees, dropped it down to 65 after 3 weeks, but I still have a layer of krausen on the beer, looks like a nice milk choc head. i've never had a beer tae this long to drop the krausen, is this normal for this recipe? i used a wyeast european ale yeast.

and clean it on the kettle? I just usually run pbw through it and then water. i ahve never taking it apart...it has to get pretty darn hot in there during the boil, so I assume that sanatizes it too? Looks like a lot of nuts and bolts...nuts and bolt scare me, i usually have extra after a job...

anything specific I need to know? sanitize flask, add warm water, shake around a bot, let sit for a few hours? add to wort? no starter? only one packet for a higher gravity beer? I'm doing bee cave robust porter with added homemade vanilla extract.

pros? cons? why only 3 oz priming sugar? also if making 5.5-6 gallon batches, can you bottle the leftovers? in other words, do you still use a bottling bucket to prime the beer and then fill the kegs, allowing the leftovers to be bottled? I hate to waste beer and my batches are usually...

rather than those little cloth hop bags? I was just wondering if they would negatively affect utilization or taste if 1/2 of them don't come out of the bag like in paramus.
