    Just for a quick addition. You need/should crush the tablet into powder before adding it to water.

    Another Airlock Blowoff Issue

    This happened to me but it was about 20 hours after I pitched my yeast. So it was still going crazy when I put a blow off tube on it. The beer turned out fine.

    Another Airlock Blowoff Issue

    I'd say it can take time,to build back up enough press to push gas out of the airlock. Also your fermentation may just be done it strong primary fermentation then has gone into the slower where it cleans up and finish out. I really would worry about it.

    Using honey or brown sugar as a priming sugar

    You can use either. But it will rest in a different flavor, not a lot but a tiny bit. Regular priming sugar ferments out completely and doesn't lean rally any flavor but honey and Brown sugar are I believe more complex so they will leave a little bit of flavor. That's just my thoughts good Lu k

    Hop additions at 0min???

    They would be aroma hops to me. I don't filter my wort when it goes into the fermentor so I would just add them to fermentor to dry hop the beer. Which would do the same thing . But also at flame out they still will be heated till you start to cool down the wort. So they will be releasing the...

    What equip do i rrally need?

    I say if you have all that and a capper, bottling bucket and a hydrometer. Then you should be good for a batch. Also temp strips for your fermentor would be good.
