Hi it should have read 'harris pure brew' from most homebrew shops.

I use the 'Harri' pure brew, works a treat with my extract brews.

I have strict temperature control and did nothing different to any of my previous batches, I clean and sterilise my equipment, as I always do.

I have never used a yeast starter or re-hydrated the yeast, until last Tuesday, and the fermentation stopped short. I am going back to just sprinkling dry yeast into my aerated wort.
