    Brinkmann Floor Burner boiling off too much

    The title says it all. There is no heat control on the burner so boil over is a bit of an issue. But the main problem is I am boiling off way more than 1Gal, its about 1.5-2Gal for a 1 hour boil. Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions on how to fix it?

    are there negative consequences racking into a third fermenter?

    Wierd flakes in my extract boil

    I just brewed an all extract APA and used hop sacks. At the end of the boil I've found odd flakes of something in the beer. It's not hops or grains and I'm not sure what they are. I've looked around on the computer but found no results. Anyone have any clues?

    I have a coffee brown ale which upon transferring from second fermentation to bottling, tastes wag too bitter. I'm looking for a way to sweeten it during secondary. If I'm correct, if I add sugar of honey the remaining yeast will eat it negate the sweetness. Any ideas?
