Rob,

I meant to say add whirlflock according to your normal schedule. I put it in at 15 minutes also. I'll edit the original post to clarify.

Rob asked me for the recipe for the Imperial Porter I had at the Christmas Party. Here it is: OG: 1.075 FG: 1.026 IBU: 47 SRM: 43 ABV: 6.5% Water: Calcium: 50.20 ppm Sulfate: 98.41 ppm Magnesium: 9.49 ppm Chloride: 91.72 ppm Sodium: 33.17 ppm Malt 67.2% Pale US 2 row 9.4% Munich 9 SRM 8.0% Crystal 4...

Rack your beer off the yeast before transporting your beer. I just transferred my Porter and Barrett beer from old kegs into clean kegs to leave the yeast behind. Damon Lewis has shamed me into the practice and it is a good one.

Yes. Use RO or distilled water to dilute or your city water or for all your brewing water.

363 PPM of Sodium seems very high to me. I think the decimal point may be in the wrong place.

There is a lab that can perform the tests for you.

I used them a few years ago. The prices have gone up since the last time I used them. I think you could get away with the W-6 test although they do offer a brewers test suite.

Congratulations David!
