Nice labels. Always looks cool & more "finished". I'm going to brew up an IPA with all NZ hops in a partial mash when my stuff comes in soon. I red about one called Kiwi IPA that sounded good,& I've still got the better part of a pound of them in the freezer.
Boy,did beersmith2 come in handy for tweaking my recipe idea for color & flavors,etc. You can add to the lists of grains,sugars,& extracts. Dito on hops listed. Even your own notes on flavors,colors,whatever. Not to mention brewing style,equipment,boil off,etc. Not easy to learn all the functions of beersmith. But it's not too bad given time & experience.
It's about time I made another IPA,now that I'm into PM. Hope yours comes out addictive!

Why should you not get oxygen in the priming mixture? won't the yeast just use it up during conditioning?

Oxygen post fermentation, causes oxidation and off flavors. Even though new fermentation is about to happen, it is only enought to carb the beer, and your yeast is already a massive colony post ferment.
