    How do you culture yeast?

    Honestly, you should probably wait and get more comfortable in handling yeast before you try this. If you're set on it here is a thread I found on it https://www.homebrewtalk.com/blogs/nordeastbrewer77/harvesting-yeast-commercial-bottles-1356/[/URL] or search "harvest yeast." I'm not...

    First Brew

    Do your favorite style. But, pale ales can be easy because the hops are such a big part of the flavor profile.

    Can bottle shape affect taste

    bottle shape could have an effect if you are drinking straight from the bottles (direct it to different taste buds) also you mention cleaning the sn bottles really well but nothing about the store bought ones, did you clean and sanitize them? could be an infection. also LOL

    Gassy Sample screwing up SG?

    A small beer like that could definitely ferment in three days, you beer isn't carbonated, it's putting of co2 but it isn't pressurized so it won't stay in solution, and a hydrometer measures dissolved solids so it should be correct, unless there are bubbles stuck to the hydrometer. I know...

    OG and FG way off target on Brown Porter extract + grains kit

    I'd say it diminishes after all the sugar is fermented and the yeast go to sleep, though i couldn't say what that time is, and the possibility would go back up if you were moving them or warming them up. You'd want to aim for the volumes he says, the thing is you may already have some of the...

    Keezer parts

    i was wrong then, 3/16" is what most people use. i believe you would only use 1/4" if you have a long run.

    Stuck sparge when batch sparging???

    i've only had one stuck sparge too, but mine was because my manifold came off, that was fun. have you tried rice hulls? might be able to keep the higher efficiency without the stuck sparge.

    OG and FG way off target on Brown Porter extract + grains kit

    sorry, didn't mean to come across like that, i wouldn't be worried about it either, especially if kegging, but bottling he might need to think about excess priming sugar.

    Keezer parts

    makes sense, i dont't have a beer gun. i think it was the aha draught book that recommends not using the chrome plated stuff, i haven't had any experience personally. with the lines, there's no length that is perfect for every system, it depends on temp, pressure, how far the lines need to go...

    his attenuation is like 10% lower, you don't think that's a bit much?

    OG and FG way off target on Brown Porter extract + grains kit

    I wouldn't do anything to it. If you were going to try and fix it, you should have added more water when you got the high gravity reading. Your yeast may not be able to handle the higher alcohol and didn't finish out because of it, you could try adding more/different yeast, but, I wouldn't. I...
