New to brewing. I recently brewed a milk stout from an extract kit with steeping grains. OG was 1.080 and pitched US-05 at 62F. After 12 days the gravity is at 1.028. Is this ok to bottle without causing bottle bombs? The kit had a pound of lactose in the ingredients so I know the FG will...

Much appreciated!

Much appreciated!

Thank you sir!

Yes it’s from the winter sampler

Anyone have an extract clone recipe or know where to buy an accurate kit?

Update: I went ahead and brewed a kit anyway. The only thing I did was replace the yeast. The kit ended up being about 18 months old. I tried one last night and it actually was decent. The hop flavor and aroma are almost nonexistent, but it's definitely a very drinkable brew. I'm not much...

I'll look into the hops calculator. Everything else seems to be ok so far. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. One kit has LME and DME and the other kits have just LME. 2 of the kits have steeping grains. I think I'll test everything right before brew day and replace what I need seeing as I have to replace the yeast anyway. Much appreciated.

I'm completely new to homebrewing so I have a stupid question. I was given 3 kits that were bought in February 2016. I know the yeast won't be any good, but should I toss them all or will some ingredients be ok? Thanks!
