The only reason I'd prefer wet yeast is variety. E.g. I might want wlp644 for a NEIPA which isn't available dry. I don't think dry yeast could ever replicate the variety and be commercially viable, so wet yeast is here to stay. Some notable gaps in dry yeast in general. Can we have a dry Brett...

Should be enough time. An American IPA will only get worse after 3 weeks in the bottle. Prioritise proper fermentation completion including a diacetyl rest over bottle conditioning time. Kveik obviously will be the fastest, but US-05 will easily be done within the week. Avoid M44 if you can...

It's interesting that they've chosen 001. You can buy Chico dry already as us-05.

I've seen this in Lidl

You did remember to use KS-SA2-LE5 for £176.99?

Munich is perfectly interchangeable with base malt, should add a bit of body/colour without sweetness. Up to you whether you wanted to substitute some MO, or just have 10% more ABV.

So Spotless is mains water, UV treated and RO filtered to 0 TDS. Waste RO water returned to sewerage rather than surface water.

Mash out will improve efficiency, as hotter wort is less viscous.

Yes, but it's suboptimal in terms of efficiency.

I wouldn't like to speculate, but if I was on a zoom call with my dog, sat on a bench, we'd be playing ball. Ball goes in river, I have to fish it out, but slip and fall in. My dog wouldn't follow as he is afraid of water. I don't know if this is particularly dangerous river? Press reports say...

The deadspace is a massive 7l btw, just measured. Kinda makes it hard to do smaller mashes, and limits efficiency as not much sparge water.

Yes. The process is different in the DI water uses ion exchange and RO uses pressure through a membrane. DI purity is measured using conductivity of the water (it is almost a perfect insulator), RO is less pure, with 0 TDS as a target, even though Spotless get pretty close. DI is more expensive...

Yes, otherwise your mash will be too thick

I'm in 100% agreement this is most likely what happens, I'll let them confirm though.

I've asked the question, but I'm 90% sure it is fed from mains water and waste water is returned to sewerage.

No, it has supports to insert the basket when it is raised

Thanks all So I've opened an EeBria trade account and they have confirmed that they can supply. Downsides are that their beer isn't bright, and they don't supply taps like direct from the brewer, so this looks like the second best option rather than going direct. Upside is that we can order...

Yeah, i didn't do this for exactly this reason. Bought an adapter for about £2.50 from CPC, luckily I was already making an order.

So you are my direct competition! I too have entered an 18B and 21A. An APA and a Westie.
