I'm planning on brewing a Blonde Ale this weekend and debating on pressure fermenting using Cellarscience's Cali ale yeast. I pressure ferment all my lagers but when I pressure fermented a Kolsch I didn't like the results. I want my Blonde Ale to be crisp and clean like a lager. I also want/need...

Had this happen before but was able to clean it no problem. This time it won't come off without me scratching the surface all to hell, which you can see I've started to do. This is the result of my hop spider sitting on the bottom of the kettle during the boil. It's a cheap kettle and I have a...
