I brewed Bier Muncher's Centennial Blonde yesterday (see recipe below) and I used the brewhouse efficiency calculator at Brewer's Friend, home brewing resources to calculate my efficiency. I mashed for 70 minutes at 150 degrees and batch sparged at 165 and 170 with a 20 minute rest after...

This is my second batch and I just racked to my secondary after 3 weeks in the primary. The airlock is not clogged and the #7 stopper keeps popping off of the 5.5 gallon glass carboy. Is this not the right size stopper? It seemed to work fine on the first batch. any suggestions?

My first batch has been in 22oz bottles for 18 days. What is the typical length of time for conditioning in this size bottle? I don't see any yeast in the bottom of the bottles and I'm getting kind of anxious for a taste but i'm thinking 22's may take longer to condition.

So I ordered a mini mash kit from AHS and asked them to include full boil instructions as well as partial boil instructions kit. As expected, there were no full boil instructions. How should the following recipe be altered for a full boil? Steep the following in 2 1/2 gallons at 155...

Noob here. I'm looking to see if anyone has a good link/instructions and/or pros/con for using a 10 gallon SS kettle with thermometer and spigot as a mash/lauter tun, then for the boiling of the wort. Thanks for the replies.
