Irish Moss Question
I had a quick question about adding irish moss. I am only brewing a half batch (2.5 gallons) and I bought some irish moss. I couldn't find any info on how much to use on the package so I thought I would ask here. Any ideas? Thanks.

Half Batch Steep Times
Hey everyone. I had a question about steeping crystal malt while making a 2.5 gallon batch of beer. How long should I steep the grains? Should I go for 30 minutes like normal? Thanks.

Question on full batch extract brewing
Hey everyone, just a quick question. I just got a 30 quart pot that I want to do a full batch boil in. Has anybody else had experience with doing a 6 gallon boil in a 7.5 gallon pot? I'd rather know now if I'm going to have a hell of a time with it up front. Thanks.
