Just recently purchased and Annealezz brass annealer. I've never annealed brass before. Should I size before or after heating the brass. Any tips or suggestions from anybody is appreciated

I have an anealezz also.

Aneal before resizing.

I use to set the flame and speed by using tempilaq.

Lately I have been setting the flame so the light blue flame kernel just reaches the metal case guide.  Then setting the speed so the case JUST BARELY glows in a dark room before dropping out  of the flame.  I aim the flame so it's towards the bottom of the case shoulder.

Assuming you are staring with fired brass... then you would clean it up, anneal the stress of that last firing, and then size.
