GU2O powder clumping

Yes.  Happens a lot to me as well.

I only use regular bottles so I will put the scoops in first, then as I add the water I will continuously swish it around.  Then shake it up well after the bottle is full.  That usually mixes it all up completely.  In the few instances where it doesn't, once it is on the bike and I'm riding the bouncing around pretty much always finishes the job.

If I recall, on the side of the canister, it says something like:

Fill bottle half-full with water; add your scoops (I use 2 in my bottles); put the lid on and shake the bottle (with it half-full); open the lid, fill up the bottle; shake again.  All done.

That method has worked for me since the start of the year...

cool, i'll try that then

thanks

make sure the bottle is dry, put the powder in and then swish as you fill with water.  If you have any moisture in the bottle as you add poweder, it will clump.

I do exactly the same thing and it works well.  I try to make the bottle the night before and keep it in the fridge or add ice after adding the hot water and dissolving the powder

It's already been covered, but just seconding it - use room temperature water. It's a bit of a pain, but it's fairly effective at mixing up the powder. Fill up halfway with room temp water, dump powder in, shake it up till dissolved, and then throw in cold water with ice. I try and make the stuff in advance so I can throw it in the freezer to cool down and preserve some of the ice.

Pretty much the only downside to GU2O. Love the stuff  

I like the stuff so much, I just mix five gallon batches and dispense it out my kegerator.

No, not really, but I do make one gallon batches and keep it in the fridge.  When I mix it, I put the powder in first, then add a couple cups of hot water.  Swirl it around, then top it off with cold.  I also give it a couple shakes before I pour it into bottle.  It settles a bit.

After saying that I keg it, I might actually try it carbonated.   

I use a single serving blender...one quick spin and in the bottle it goes...

Amen ... Accelerade clumps ridiculously - that is why I only use it for Tequila Friday hangovers now. (Mila's homespun recipe - and it works!)

I add a scoop of CarboPro (240 cal) in with my Gu2O (2.25 scoops per 20 oz bottle) and tap water.  The only time I have had a clumping problem is when I do not shake it immediately.
