Standard infusion mash, step mash, or decoction(s)? I honestly had a ton of fun doing a marzen with the single decoction, for as much work as it took to brew. I don't think I would do more than one decoction though.

From my experience at work, we add extracts after fermentation, in the brite tank. You can rack to a secondary vessel and add extract a little bit at a time until you get the flavor concentration you want. If you were to add it at bottling, you won't be able to add more if you find it needs more fla...

Call it something else? We just go with it. Stronger batch, same name. Although with my efficiency being where it i...

I did 5 gallons and I added the gelatin at kegging but if you're going to bottle it you want to do it after cold crashing and before bottling. I believe it was 1 tsp gelatin to 2/3 cup water. Sprinkle the gelatin into the water and heat it 10 seconds at a time to get to temp between 145 and 155°F. T...
