It was my first brew ever, and it was a big success through out the family. Just wanted to see if I can do better

It's brewers best

I want to duplicate a kit recipe. It called for 6.6 lbs dark lme. I want to convert the lme to grain but don't know what type of grain to use. I also don't understand the conversion part of the formula. I found that on brewers friend. I'd rather use all grain. Is it cost effective to do this, or...

I was making Christmas ale and lost half of the wort. Normally no problem, but it came with 2 pkgs of yeast. I raised the og to 1.074 per the instructions. So I'm making 2.5 gallons instead of 5. Should I put in the 2nd pack of yeast or not. Please respond quickly so I can make any changes

Thanks

So please explain to me the process. I've looked and everything I read talks about Yeast and fermentation. Then I'm assuming priming bottles and waiting a couple of weeks for carbonation. Is there an easier way?

Store variety isn't carbed, so probably not. Unless it's easy in the bottle. It will take up room with my bottling bucket. Lol

Trying to get like a twisted tea, or a segrams screwdriver type "wine cooler". Figured if I can come close, I'd expand it to include other juices.

How do I calculate abv with juices and tea, such as Arnold palmer, or screw drivers? More wine coolers for the female folk. I want to make gallons instead of just a 6pk. Any suggestions?

This probably has already been asked, but where does one find information on the different grain, malt, hops, yeast, flavor profiles, and what go together to form specific kinds of beers and or flavors? I've looked into different recipes and there seems to be literally hundreds of variations of...

Can you use green bottles for bottling? And can you reuse commercial bottles if you wash and sanitize them? I have found that the tops are different and won't cap like the brown bottles. Is there a different device to use for the green bottle? Thanks in advance

I'll try that. I'll update after a while. Thanks

No, figured I'd just take my time

Thanks for the suggestions, if sediment isn't going to be a problem in terms of flavor, then straight from the fermenter it is. If it is, then I guess it'll have to wait until next week. I don't expect it to be perfect on the first time, but I want to do it as close as I can. I've included a pic...

I'm very happy that I found this. (I've been lurking for some time now gathering information). On my first brew from a kit. (Peanutbutter porter) it said it was easy. I'm probably going to bottle this weekend and I don't want to screw it up. There's sediment and I don't have another container to...
