Well, after seeing your post, reading more posts, and talking with Jay, I decided to buy the 3" sight glass yeast brink. I plan only to use it for spices and hops.
Well, very early this morning I used it for the first time to add spice to my Pocahontas Pumpkin Ale that finished fermenting. I mixed McCormick's Pumpkin Spice with sterilized RO water. Then I filled the sight glass full of beer before injecting it back into the fermenter. After that, I repeatedly filled and injected back into the fermenter four more times to insure there was an adequate mix.
I'm using Spike's carb stone for the first time. Hopefully, either late Friday night or early Saturday morning I will be able to sample the beer to see how well the spice mixed and to see how carbonated it is. If everything goes well, then on to bottling!
Below pictures below show how it looked before I filled it with beer the first time.
