So that is why they call it a milk stout. ;-)

John Palmer indicates to transfer after 7 days. I ferment my primary using plastic buckets, unless I pressure ferment. I purge my secondary with co2, then run a co2 line through the air lock hole and pump some co2 into the fermenter. I then drain the primary into the secondary. 1 to 2 weeks...

That is a good price for 50 lbs.

Download Palmer's Brewing Water Ajdustment App, You can select a water profile based on the style of beer. Also BrewFather and I assume other brew apps will have a water profile section,

Yes this will be a good science experiment. I understand you got busy and forgot about it. In the future, after 7 days, pull the beer into a secondary. They if you forget, it will not matter how long you let the beer rest in the secondary. Sounds like some bacteria got into the fermenter...

All of the videos I have seen on acid washing is you add the acid to your pitching yeast within 30 minutes, ( ph level determines how long you can wait before pitching) Once at the proper ph level you pitch the yeast with the acid in the culture. Go to Youtube and search for acid washing...

I am a proud 1 gallon brewer. It is a great way to test out and refine receipts. Also I can try alot of different beer styles rather quickly. When I dial in a receipt then if wanted I can dial up to 2.5 or 3 gallons.

Yes, they have gone up, but do not buy from Amazon. Check out Buy CanaKit Raspberry Pi Kits and Raspberry Pi Boards and Accessories Not as bad as Amazon. They have some nice kits. Cheers

Just finished reading, Lars Marius Garshol's book "Historical Brewing Techniques - The Lost Art of Farmhouse Brewing" What a great book on the history of Brewing in Scandinavia, and the origins of Kveik yeast. The book also has some receipts as well. A good read. Thanks Joe
