Thanks Baron, I like kveik. So doesn’t matter if it’s dry or wet yeast?

I’ve done the same but spotted it earlier thankfully. My latest episode which left SWMBO with hands on hips and foot tapping, you know the look, was an amazing gusher! Was a stout bottle which I knew had lots of trub in the bottom so decided to open in the kitchen sink. When I cracked it the cap...

Does it matter what type of yeast you do this with or are there some it’s best not to?

I’ll have to get more fruit and veg bags and weigh them down with half a brick to be sure!👍

1st Saison is next on my planning list so keen to watch this thread 👍

I throw away wynchwood bottles as I’ve never successfully cleaned off the glue even with glue remover. Favourite are Shepherd Neane as the paper labels fall of easy in water and they are dumpy/thick.

Is it to do with getting frisky 😉
