Is oxidation during cold crashing really worth worrying about?

I just paid 21 for a new tank. But thanks for the info on the paintball shop hydroing the tank.

What to do with them after the hydro expires? I've got two that I used as a backup to my 5lbder and to force carb with but they have expired. Is there any use for them? I assume getting them re-hydroed wouldn't be cost effective.

Is my water good enough? Ive read the first couple of pages and numerous other articles regarding water and to be honest I loose interest in them as its honestly all over my head anyway. My process has been to stop by Wal-Mart on the way home from work and fill up two 5 gallon containers of...

Evidently the hydrometer was stuck to the side of the flask or bubbles were holding it up but after it sat on the kitchen table for a bit the gravity was actually 1.005 and I could clearly see the tiny bubbles rising up the sides.

Let primary fermentation run for 9 days, took a reading and got 1.012, went ahead and dry hopped and added AE and let it go another week and took a reading, still at 1.012. All this done in the primary.

Im in thanks.

Have the original recipe in this thread in a big mouth bubbler on its seventh day now. I don't typically secondary so can I add the AE and my dry hop sack right into the bubbler for 2 weeks, then cold crash?

Thanks dude.
