buy a cheap kit and have at it! only upgrade non-plastic stuff when you know you're going to keep brewing consistently.

sediment will pool near the spear again, so first few will be murky, even after waiting for it to settle out. no way around that. if you're as bad at racking as i am, floating dip tube is the only way to go.

i've done it, but i used labatt blue. pop the top, cram the cones/pellets in, then recap quickly. i didn't notice an appreciable loss of carbonation.

the same way we all do... :p

indeed.

that's great news!

nice. this thread got my inner goblin riled up and i'm also drinking a hobnobby inspired dark english ale.

bloom in warm water to dissolve, then into the keg/fermenter/etc. i haven't tried, but i would be hesitant to sprinkle it in. it seems like the powder likes to clump and settle to the bottom of a glass very quickly, so i can only assume it would do the same i a 'bigger glass' like a keg.

sounds right on to me.

i've never once tried to stay within the lines for any kind of American beer styles. the recipe looks tasty to me. what's the og? i tend to lean towards the malty side of og:bu, but it's a hop forward kinda brew so let those ibu's fly!

i'm seeing a price point at around $150, and it looks like a corona style mill. for that much cash i think there are better option more well suited to crushing grains.

he's not going to respond because he went blind.

i'll assume this is similar to oxyclean and the various other names. it's not a great sanitizer, especially if you already have an infection hiding in your equipment. bleach or boiling water or both on everything. new yeast! and do your best to keep everything post boil clean, not just...

that's what i would lean towards for my personal tastes. as with all beer, it's all quite subjective.

palisades and summit are great for flavor, aroma, or dry hop additions. i've had good luck with ahtanum as a flavor addition. i'd probably go with a 60 min summit, then like 2-3 oz of palisades and ahtanum at 15 min 2-3 oz of palisades and ahtanum mix at 10 an ounce or two of summit at 5 and...

summit ahtanum and palisades with that midnight wheat and goldswaen plus some pale malt could make a nice cascadian dark ale.

i just pour. it seems to work best as it naturally settles through the beer. stirring would mess that up a bit.

well, 1/2 a cup of boiling water should be at 212F. add that to a half a cup of room temp 70F. you should end up with a full cup of 141F water, close enough to get the gelatin dissolved.

warm enough to dissolve, but not warm enough to make jello. if you want to do the math, you can add x amount of tap water to x amount of boiling to get to the desired temp.

you're boned. :p leave it alone. it will be fine.
