The conversion factors are available online http://www.howtobrew.com/appendices/appendixA.html Looks like ~10 degrees (65 to 75) is just about 0.002 so probably could be depending on how long it took you to bottle, what the temperatures actually were, and how small your sample size was for...

Question for those of you who keep it in Primary for a month. Do you whirlpool the wort to remove the trub prior to transferring your beer to the primary after cooling? I am ~10 (extract) batches in, and still getting the hang of things obviously. I have yet to whirlpool. I transfer the...

It's all good, I had ordered dry yeast in case it didn't work, so I got to go ahead and brew Sunday. (Tho I may have over did it with adding honey and brown sugar to the brew). I had coffee all over the place, but yeah it went to the bottom. I would have liked to have seen what I could have...

Yeast washing 1b was a fail. I should have poured everything out of the carboy and separated from there. Ended up losing almost all of the yeast. It was pretty gross with coffee too, so not sure how well it would have worked... Needed some separation from the coffee too before bottling...

No worries, you provided an actual link whereas I was to lazy to do so!

Northern Brewer has a 2-hearted clone, 3-hearted ale. I have it going, but just now bottling it. (my 4th or 5th kit) They also have another clone, Sinistral warrior. (3rd) Austin has a golden palisades promo going still I think. They (austin) have a ton of clones, so if there's one...

Read the instructions!

I was planning on giving it a try but was talking with oTown about it and he suggested I ask on here... I'll let ya know how it goes - since we're going by your guide! I figured it would be all right, but was curious since we're new to the whole deal.

I am currently doing an extract kit from Northern Brewer - Peace Coffee Porter Stout. I just added the coffee right to the primary after two weeks (4 ounces of coffee beans, coarsely ground). It has another week left or so, but was planning some things out and had a question. Since I...

I have tried removing ink off a couple of different times. The first two times I think were just star sans and hot water. The first time took a little bit of elbow grease - just with a regular abrasive sponge (whatever the deal is called with the rough side for dishes or whatever). Second time...

I'll check it again, but I first checked the Coffee stout after 5 days because I was not sure if it had fermented (as mentioned on here the only way to be sure is via hydrometer, but I had not seen a fermentation like this before #newbie). I have to add the coffee this weekend so will either...

Thanks. I am doing extract. Thought that was inferred but yes those are extract kits from NB. I didn't realize that also made a difference with respect to all-grain. The Milk Chocolate kit does add 1 lb of lactose and has some of the darker malts. No worries. Oh, I take my SG...

Hi Y'all. New Brewer here - just a few batches in so far. I haven't had many problems such as some of the other new brewers have mentioned, really enjoying it so far - labor of love. I do have a question regarding the attenuation of a couple of stouts that I've brewed. I meant to look at...
