:roll: :roll: :roll: Breathing is the process of getting air into a body, in mammals accomplished by the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (insects use spiracles . . . and have some muscles that can 'pump' air in and out of them). Yeast, and other single celled organisms do not breath...

I would say that 90% of the UK kits are made by Muntons. . . One or two other smaller companies are used to make some of the others (and the beggar won't tell me who they are :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: )

Possibly only 500g in that case . . .

The kit manufacturer would have taken that into account when mashing the grain before concentrating the wort. The kit contains all the minerals that were present in the original wort. . . . Making a kit up with RO water means the wort is as close to what the manufacturer intended.

+1 It's so good to finally hear from someone else that using a piddly baby bottle steriliser , wallpaper stripper, steam bullet, dishwasher isn't a good idea. . . . Although I suspect (know) the advice and information will fall on a lot of deaf ears . . . God knows I've tried . . . . (now...

You need a bigger mash tun to batch sparge ;) You have to leave space for your 1st batch top up . . in a fly sparge you can use practically all of the space for the mash You have to recirculate each batch to remove the big chunks of grain debris. If you go for more batches because you mash...

20-30 psi at 6-8C . . .It's over carbonated You will have between 3-4 volumes of CO2 dissolved in it whereas for lager you should be aiming at 2-2.5Vols. Release all pressure from the keg . . . and keep it that way for 3-5days or a week (cover the keg with a plastic bag and tap it so nothing...

Didn't really want to do this and have them on here and on eBay but needs must. In the vain hope of raising funds for my 150L Jacketed conical, I have decided that I need to cull my corny herd. I've sold one breeding pair, via PM to a member on here and thought I would offer the next pair...

Or even a decent local pub ;)
