I plan on brewing a 2.5 gallon batch of Jamil's "Evil Twin" kit from Northern Brewer this Saturday. This one uses a more complicated hop schedule including dry hopping so it should be interesting.

As before, if anyone wants to supervise I could certainly use input. Just let me know and I can give you instructions on how to get here. It's really easy to find and no gravel except for the driveway.

I don't have any home brew ready yet, but have two hearted, torpedo, tripel kameleit, and few other odds and ends on hand for refreshment.

I went ahead an bottled this today. It was in the fermenter for 2 weeks, but the gravity only got down to 1.018. Hopefully that won't cause bottle bombs. The kit instructions don't give an estimated FG, so I was a little concerned.

However, if the Wyeast 1056 attenuates to about 75%, then it should have come in around 1.017 (OG was 1.067). So I think I should be OK, right? At what FG should I be worried about how much priming sugar I use?

You should be fine with the recommended priming sugar. 1056 is fairly aggressive so the fermentables from the mash should be used up.

what the other Tom said. Sounds like you're right on target.

I was about to say 1.067 OG would be high for one package of yeast but then I remembered you are doing 2.5 gallons so you should be in good shape.
