    Grain hulls from extract floating in fermenter

    Those have to be from the specialty grains, LME wouldn't have any hulls in it. It will be fine, if you're using a siphon with a cap on the end it should filter them out. If you're really concerned you can always sanitize a muslin bag and put it over the end of your siphon to make sure...

    Caffeinated root beer

    They aren't tablets, they're capsules. These are the ones I got. http://amzn.com/B005LQYR9I I pulled the capsule open and poured the contents into a glass of water and wasn't able to get them to dissolve. The bottle does say that the ingredients are caffeine, gelatine (capsule) and rice flour...

    Caffeinated root beer

    I've got an old 2 1/2 gallon keg I don't use so I thought I'd make some caffeinated root beer to keep on tap. I bought some Zatarain's extract and some pure caffeine capsules (200mg) to give it a shot. Luckily I decided to test dissolving the contents of the caffeine capsules in water prior...

    Clearing with Gelatin/Bentonite?

    I've never used gelatin for clearing cider, but I have used it for beer. In beer you want to swirl it in. Not quite a stir, but just enough to spread it out. If you've got it in a bucket or carboy you should be able to perform the necessary swirl without disturbing your sediment on the bottom...
