Michelob Pale Ale is another good bottle. Paul

At my age (70) I really appreciate a 60 min mash (rest) time. In fact I have been considering going to a standard 90 min mash and maybe getting in a little nap. ;) :p ;) Paul

I want to naturally carbonate some of my brew in the keg and have a couple of questions. :confused: 1. As far as I have been able to determine about 2.5 ounces of corn sugar is the proper amount to prime with. Is this correct? 2. How long can a brew set in secondary and still be...

Not quite, as I said before I am 70. ;) Paul

You folks are making me feel better all the time. Paul

Thanks again. I do not think channeling should be a problem since I will be stirring after the sparge water is added. Paul

Thank you for your quick replies. In my situation I think that heating the water hotter might be my best bet. If I do go with a valve setup do you think I would be smart to install a baffle of some sort to more evenly distribute the water? Paul

will adding gelatin to the secondary raise the gravity before it has had time to work? :confused: Paul

Great information. Thank You Paul

You are absolutely right. My after action reading of the instructions was wrong. I guess the Florida sun must have fried what few brains I have. Thank You Paul
