    first batch in bottles :)

    Got my first batch in the dark closet in the basement. Is 68 okay for conditioning? It seemed a little thin, but have read it will continue to change in the bottle, and not sure my mouth is used to beer without carbonation (Oatmeal Stout SG 1.045 FG 1.018) I also read a lot of brewers had...

    second batch

    My first batch (oatmeal stout) is in the secondary...so I thought I would try not racking this batch and let it go 3-4 weeks in the primary. Wife is wondering what I'm going to do with 100+ beers :)

    good luck...i'm still waiting for my first batch to finish. i made a lot of the same mistakes you did....second batch will be much easier, and i'm sure your beer will be fine.

    Fermentation started... then just stopped

    i'm in the exact same spot as you on my first batch of oatmeal stout (SG 1.045). I also used dry Muntons yeast ( I did however did hydrate it). I'm also stuck at 1.020. I've read several posts which tell you to swirl your bucket to try to re-suspend the yeast...I have'nt done anything yet...

    FG Question

    midwest extract kit: oatmeal stout w/steeping grains and dry yeast. It's my first batch and was concerned since the recipe stated that it should hit a FG of 1.012-1.014... I will let it sit :)
