I don't even get my gel at the LHBS... I steal it from my wife (ok... well technically it was my paycheck that paid for it, but she got it for her own cooking purposes), so mine doesn't have ANY instructions relative to brewing. But I may try your method sometime as well.DS: If I pour it in first, it mixes well and then settles. I have heard of people who pour it on top of the beer already in the secondary which I think would be fine. This is how I have always done it and it seems to work. One other issue is that most of the packaging for gel has NO instructions on it. I assume suppliers buy it in bulk, repack it and don't include any instructions. Many different procesudres have been in books, on the web, whatever and most people just do it the way that works best. Cheers.

Yeah, should be fine. I had good results before, just refreshing my memory.I think it will be good, Mike.One thing I have noticed is that it's hard to screw it up. I have left the gel solution on the stove and forgot about it... came back to the stove to find it boiling. I turned it off, put it on one of the cool burners to let it sit, came back and swished it around a little and it doesn't gel up (at least the kind you get at the LHBS). It was still completely liquid and it worked fine. Good luck.
That should keep you out of the pantry for a while.A whole box of those packets just showed up in the brewery one day. What a wife
