I've been brewing forever using gas stoves because that's always been available to me. It looks like I might have to more to a place that only has an electric stove. I'm an extract brewer, and usually do 3 gallon boils. I want to hear from anybody who has used both gas and electric for a similar...

Wondering if anybody has tried this: I have a batch of already bottled homebrew that never got the level of carbonation I was looking for. Would it ruin the beer to pour all the bottles into a keg and then dial in the co2?

A lot of the recipes I've been looking at only call for steeping small quantities of grain... I'm talking about something in the range of 5 to 20oz total. I usually adjust recipes from books before brewing... like this stout I made last winter, I ended up using probably 3 times as much steeping...

I'd really appreciate some suggestions here: Ok, so I've read all about extracts, partial boils, hop utilization, etc... but I'm just having trouble finding a good way to do these recipes calling for 6 plus pounds of DME. Basically, I do a 3 gallon or so boil, first steeping specialty...
