I find that mixing gelatin into a warm keg (50-60 american degrees) and then letting it chill to serving (38) clarified better. Maybe gelatin mixes thru the keg better when its warm? I give it a twist or two as far as manual mixing

oh yea math... Vary cool! Actually 1.053 is better. Thanks for the reply!

I want to split a 10 gallon batch of a west coast IPA. One big, and one small. One boil. Don't want to set up 2 boil kettles. The recipe is a big IIPA like a Pliney the Elder or Sticky Hands. After the boil, one fermenter gets 6 gallons of 1.080ish og wort and another fermenter gets 4...

When preforming an open transfer (exposed to some amount of oxygen, racking cain etc) which beer picks up more O2? A beer at 34 or 68 degrees? Does that matter?

...and it was damn tasty.

I just had a pint of sticky hands from the tap at The Horse Brass and I would SWEAR it had a Crystal Malt in it. Beyond the 5-7% carafoam suggested. Im thinking 5-8% crystal 40 or so??

5 lbs cylinder gets me 8-10 corny kegs. Thats 6 months for me.. Its a good place to start. Of coarse I would trade it for a 10 lbs.
