One more thing, whilst I have some good advisors circling the thread... do you think a propane camping stove would bring a faster boil than an electric hob? I just ask because as my wort was coming to boil (EVER so slowly) I clearly lost more than 1 litre. Thanks.

Oh well! I was likely a little too hasty, this much is true! (I also had a small concern that the high oat-malt ratio MAY have been an issue). Trying again in a few days with a more malt-focussed grain bill, and a better sparging method so I will let you know how its turns out! Cheers.

My immediate reaction was that a low sugar wort at a very low volume in a 23L fermenter with a full yeast packet had somehow killed/starved the yeast after only 36 hours.

Cheers Clint, got some good type stuff on the way!

Its the Ballyhoo kit steriliser, Vinclasse, and the shower head ain't the cleanest. With likely go from kitchen tap by just wanted to gauge the hive mind!
