Quote: I know the Theakstons brewery, for one, has open-top squares. I think the tour guide said the yeast head protects the beer, though how any flies or nasties sitting on it don't sink back in eventually, I don't know - maybe someone can help to explain! : Unquote

Perhaps thats why it's called Old Peculier

Just a quick update on this post. Think I need a more up to date water report,as locally there is a massive building project underway (a whole council estate pulled down & slowly being rebuilt-1000+ dwellings). Tried a little Gypsum in my brew (a Big Kenny & finally got the hop hit I was missing (maybe the recipe). Happy camper at last.
Thanks Pittsy & everyone else that pointed me to the right path.
