I saw a thread on here a while ago that has the calculation to figure out the amount of hops to add to match a recipes hops with different aa's. Can anyone post that or explain it to me? Thanks!

What does it mean when a recipe calls for you to steep/whirlpool hops ?

I guess im getting confused. So I can focus mainly on the calcium, mag., sodium, sulfate, chloride to match water profile and using an acid (lactic or phosp.) if needed, to help with the ph. The resulting bicarbonate number after calculating all that, I shouldn't be concerned with?

so when inputting everything into Bru'n water, I don't have to pay much attention to the bicarbonate for a water profile?

Think this is the right section but I just started my first all grain batch and used Bru'n Water to adjust my water. Right now I am planning a new beer and just realized I paid attention to the water profile with the calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate and Chloride for the water profile I was...

When adding minerals do you add right before you start on brew day or do you let the minerals sit in the water for a day? I've been reading people doing it differently and do not know if it's a personal preference or a method to the madness? Also when adding a campden tablet (for five gallon...

But as for the keg I mean obviously they may have been used for rootbeer in the past. You don't reuse the same one? or can I give it a good clean, maybe have separate O-rings, and use the keg for beer?

Does running soda particularly root beer ruin beer lines? I heard that using that beer line after running rootbeer through itnwill impart a rootbeer flavor to the beer? Anyone know if this is true?

This is my first time making a rootbeer. Does the rootbeer ruin your beer lines if im putting it on tap? Couldnt i clean my lines out with pbw or oxygen cleaner to get the root beer flavor out?
