I was thinking of using an Irish Ale Yeast. Possibly Wyeast 1084. Any suggestions for a sweeter brown ale? I like them lightly sweet over the dry ones.

I do prefer the darker/richer O-fests. Thanks for the help! Ordering the supplies tonight.

Yea I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a disaster for my first shot at layering as well.

I have just recently started brewing all-grain, but the first beer seems to be a bit 'thin'. How much maltodextrin should I add at a time to try and add some body? I've seen many posters comment about 4oz, but i don't want to make it seem to heavy. Any thoughts?

First shot in a long time of making a yeast starter. I have a stir plate and flask. I'm starting an English Ale Yeast by White Labs. I made a bade wort with extra light dme (1 quart with an OG of 1.040). It's been spinning on the plate for about 3 hours. My question is, what should I expect to...
