  stirred/whirpool every 5 min t...

  I wonder if you heat the fermented beer to 150*F and did a 24 hour steep if it would be
  different than dry hop flavor.It would be better to add a hop tea to your beer.

  Try replacing your late boil hop additions with a flame out 30 min hop stand with the lid on,

  I've been experimenting with hop stands for my last 5 or so batches and really like the results

  Stupid me! You said you used a softener and I missed that.Using the techniques of the primer
  will definitely get you going. Cutting 1:1 or 2:1 with RO (pre or post) will definitely cut the
  alkalinity ...

• Posted in thread: 2.5 gallon mini draft system - question on 04-25-2013 at 06:35 PM
  If I wanted to put half a brew in this and bottle the rest, would I have to carbonate them
  separate? Or could I just split the batch after I add the normal amount of bottling sugar?You
  could split it....

  Currently I'm getting 75-85% efficiency so maybe my PH is ok but I think I may look into it
  further

  That water was not too hard to begin with, but I expect that the softener is being used because
  the water has either iron or manganese in it. Fortunately, the softened water does not have an
