I brewed a milk stout extract kit from Brewers Best two weeks ago and was wondering if it had reached it's FG if it would be beneficial to leave it in the fermenter another week?
And what exactly is a "Big" beer? Would a stout be considered a "Big" beer?
Is bottle conditioning done over an extended period of time with a stout?
Also, I have been doing half batches due to storage constraints(no basement) and have only been brewing/boiling one gallon of water. I now have a much larger brew pot and could boil the entire 2 1/2 gallons; is it wise to brew with as much water as possible?
I am taking notes now so maybe I won't have to ask as many dumb questions in the future.
Thanks for all the help!
