RE: gum question
Paul, The B&S gum works fine and comes in powdered form. I believe the Daniel Smith gum comes premixed in solution though I can't recall what viscosity their gum is mixed at. I mix my gum in a drink blender dedicated to that purpose with a little thymol to work as a preservative. This is the method passed on to me by our own resident gum mastress Chris Anderson. You may wish to spend some time searching the alt list archives for this topic. There have been tons of posts made over the years discussing and re-dicussing and re-discussing this topic. It's a worth while search though as there are lots of great nuggets of information to be found posted by the old masters here on the list.

(performance-wise, that is...) I mean, for starting out, can I just get some of the B&S stuff, or is there a huge reason I should get the Daniel Smith? Curious...
