There are some things that liquid yeast produce and dry doesn't. I know it sucks but what can you do.

Mash Then bring your gain up to 168 to 170. Double batch sparge if you want but check the ph on the last.

I don't want to hijack this thread. Do you have any experience with cooper yeast ? pm me as I have none but I picked up a couple of packs for less than a $

^ 1 keep them separate and sanitize well and no problem.

They should have plenty to give away since they use little in their beer. :) BTW I do drink some of their products.

Most cooper kits want you to add a booster pack. Google it and find out the specs for it. Adding more DME will make it stronger. But not more bitter. Check ahs add a pack for coopers. I would do it but:drunk:

Of the 2 imo the first is more Celtic. It needs some work though again imo. It would make a nice neck wrap on a bottle. If you meant brew by using brau, You are correct brau is brew but that is a German to English translation . I have no idea what a Celtic translation would be.

Secondary is really the wrong term. It should probably be called a bright tank in most instances. It is mostly used for clearing. You have been following the basic guidelines. But they are not necessary. I do not secondary any beer unless it is a late addition. When I reach f/g I cold crash for...

The voices tell me too .

I would say 3.5 gal. just make sure you watch it and be ready to stir. You can also use a spray bottle with water to knock the hot break down. And don't worry about the hops.

Better than spontaneous combustion.

I would use it as is the difference in the utilization will be minimal.

I wouldn't put a spigot on your primary as they can leak. I would go with a autosiphon and tubing. You don't have to have a test jar for your hydrometer. You can use the tube it comes in. You have to hold on to it but it also takes a little less beer for a sample.

It's fine.

Temperature control.

Sounds ok to me.

I use the full drain model and it works fine.

I feel for your loss. But it should be gone in 24 hours if you use plenty of water.

If you need another capper might as well get a bench one. Longest lasting investment I have made was one. 10 years and still caps just fine.
