Extract. Also wondering if I should primary for longer than the directions state?

Go Badgers and Packers!

Hi again. I'm getting ready to brew my third batch. Going to be a chocolate milk stout from a NB kit. I really don't want to screw it up because it sounds delicious. So any helpful hints/tips will be more than appreciated! Thank you all again!

Is there any significant difference between using a plastic pale vs a carboy for a primary?

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all of your tips and expertise. I'm very excited about brewing and so glad I have people out there to answer my questions/concerns.

I am about to brew my second batch. I'm using a kit with spices: bitter orange, lemon zest, and adding coriander and ginger. When boiling, can I use a grain bag to boil the spices in to avoid straining it. I just don' want to introduce bacteria. or should I not worry about that too much?
