    Is secondary useful here, or can I just keep in primary w/o temp control?

    Hello! So, I'm brewing a pumpkin milk stout, and it's been in primary for about 10 days. I kept it temp controlled in a Cool Brewing bag, and it seems like it's finished fermentation (did two readings over last three days that have showed consistent SG around what my xFG was). I have been...

    Want to make sure I get Beersmith dialed in sort of correctly

    So, I'm thinking of my next brew, and I wanted it to be a pumpkin ale. I was looking at this famous recipe here, and I wanted to convert it down to a 3gal batch size.

    Really off OG and FG conundrum

    I have a conundrum for you guys. So, I did my first brew day about a week and a half ago. I had bought a cream ale extract kit and the instructions said to do a partial boil. So I went through the process of making the wort and all that. Did the additions of fermentables/hops/etc all at the...
