By my 3rd brew I was doing all grain and have not looked back since. I like being able to tinker all I want with my recipes.

I try to do 3 5 gallon batches every month. Between my GF and I and giving away some to friends we can easily go through a 5 gallon batch in 2 weeks. Best to keep on top of it and keep a variety around.

In these quantities yes. I've used a lb or so before. Pretty common with wheat?

I got my terminology messed up. The foam/bubbles were at the top of my collected wort

I batch sparge and constantly hit 80% efficiency with very little effort having to be put in.

Tasted like wort to me and looked just fine. Just unsure why there would have been bubbles on top of my wort after I drained it unless it was from the PBW.

I've brewed about 10 batches so far and have had no issues until yesterday. I brewed an AG hefe and noticed something when I was sparging from my mash tun...there were white bubbles/foam on top of my wort. I thought that I had thoroughly rinsed out my mash tun after cleaning it with PBW but...

All beer no matter what the source is makes me rip ass... then again I am a gassy person so no more really than usual.

I think you would be a lot safer just doing primary for 3 weeks and then putting it in to bottles. If this recipe requires dry hopping you can still do that in primary. No point in doing secondary unless it is for increased clarity, which to me does not effect the flavor or anythign besides...

I've bottled above 4 volumes without issue. If you are afraid of it being too carbonated you couldu se 4 oz of corn sugar for your 4 gallon batch, although I think that 3 volumes sounds pretty good.

I've used a space heater, it worked well but the huge downside comes when you get that electric bill at the end of the month.
