    Stuck fermentation?

    I brewed a strong winter ale extract kit with an OG of 1.086 I didn't have time to make a starter so I pitched two vials of WL dry English ale yeast. My FG is supposed to be 1.017 but after three weeks its stopped at 1.030. Is there anything I can do to get this to finish?

    How big for my first yeast starter?

    I'm making a black ipa extract kit from AHS with an est. OG of 1.067 using wyeast 1056. This will be my first starter and I'm unclear as to how big it should be. I don't have any brewing software nor do I plan on buying any soon, so if someone has some help that would be great.

    Coacoa and gelatin

    Two questions, I'm doing a NB chocolate milk stout extract kit and I don't plan on doing using a secondary. I'm going to add the coacoa nibs directly into the primary.

    My stove sucks

    So i live in a condo and can't brew outside so I'm stuck in the kitchen. This means partial boils on an older electric stove. I had a hard time last night keeping more than a light boil going consistently. How can this affect my beer?

    When an extract kit from NB says...

    Ready in 6 weeks does that include bottling? No way right? Can I leave it on the same yeast six weeks? OG is only 58ish.
