    How to thicken my porter?

    +1 on the flaked barley. Adds a nice silkiness like oats, but not as oily. I use flaked barley in my dry stouts.

    Bottle VS. Keg

    In short; YES. Kegging. You will understand after you keg your first batch. No mess, less time, fewer F bombs An aside: It doesn't taste different really in the end, but they do carb up faster

    I LOVE Brown's! I used to go to the Brewpub in Troy all the time when I was in college at Union!

    Styles of Stout

    +1 to Homercidal about sweet/milk stouts. I brewed a milk stout and found it too sweet. the FG was around 1.018 for a 5% beer. Lactose in the beer doesn't completely ferment out. It was a nicely brewed beer but was too cloying.

    First A-G abortion...

    +1 to OP's problem. I bought this exact product for my rubbermaid. The false bottom doesn't really sit flat on the table when placed there, its warped. I tried using it twice, but each time just either had a stuck mash or had a stream of grain running out of the MLT. I was very unhappy with...

    Can't get Homebrew to feel like like I want...

    What yeast strains are you using? are you getting very good attenuation? If your beers finish really low and have fewer residual sugars, very dry beers can have a lighter mouthfeel.

    how does one sanitize honey?

    i would dilute it in some water and boil lightly for 15 min or so. I don't think much can live in honey though...

    Should I keep the wort covered as it boils?

    No. Boiling uncovered allows volatile flavors and chemicals to boil off. Always leave the cover off!

    50% attenuation - Lactose the culprit?

    I think that lactose, a sugar, would factor into the actual OG and FG readings, so 1.034 should be accurate. Lactose isn't 100% fermentable, so it could lead to a higher FG, but 1.034 sounds kinda high - even for a big beer like this. It could just a coincidence that you have a stuck...

    Pitching onto Yeast Cake and Aeration

    I've thought about this as well... I think that aeration is needed for yeast growth. Unless you are fermenting a 1.100 beer, I believe the yeast cake has more than enough yeast cells to ferment. Please correct me if this is wrong.
