Balling?

Howdy, all;

While I'm aware there is a Balling scale when taking hydrometer readings -- I'm looking for a bit more of the background literature behind it.

I see the addition of the spices in secondary -- I'm assuming you treat them like dry-hopping, in terms of removal.

But what about the spices that go in with the boil -- do we keep them in during...

I did NOT clean it out after the blowoff, and I'm sure it IS wort in the airlock getting moldy. I'm just concerned that the mold can somehow traverse the wort and then back down into...

Mold in the Airlock?
