I tired blowing in it and got it to unclog once but that was it first time using rice hulls

so my mash tun clogged so I strained with a collaander now sitting at about 7.5 gallons instead of 6 is it fine just to boil some off then add hops for my 60 min

thanks and yeah my LHBS didn't have amercain hefe(originally recipe called for) so I decided to just go with the reg hef so I don't really need the banana flavor just want to make sure the yeast is good I guess

alright so I picked up a white labs 300 (hefe) yeast from the homebrew store. he gave it to me for free because apperntly the shipment did not come in cold he said if was about room temp do I try to create a low stress environment meaning a little less dme than a normal lets say 1-2 cup dme?

ok I'm thinking then the best option would be siphon some out dry hop and then I'll experiment with the 1 gallon just dry hop the **** out of it I guess haha

ntc that is a really good idea lol and that was kinda my original idea siphon about a gallon out of the secondary then dry hop or I was also considering another idea. this will be the first time I am going to keg a beer and I have read some people dry hop in their kegs. have any of you tried...

well I have a little too much wort I already racked it into a secondary and my car boy is so full I don't think I'm going to have enough room to dry hop it

so I brewed a clone of stone ipa using that recipe in the picture all grain so my first question is. is there a way to estimate your gravity without the original gravity? my hydrometer was broken and j forgot to get a new one on brew day. Two I do not have enough room in my secondary...

question, I don't see in buying a 20 dollar flask other than you can boil it am I missing something ? besides being able to put it on a maelstrom in which I don't have

thanks sfgoat easy u put it in laments terms too which is always nice haha

so I just mashed yesterday for the deadringer ipa from northen brewer link to ingredients here http://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/allgrain/AG-DeadRingerIPA.pdf so I just bought a wired thermometer so I could see the temp of my mash tun and it ended up being about 20 degrees...
