Organic Yeast

[simon12]

It was a wind up but a quick google search shows you can get it organic https://www.souschef.co.uk/irish-moss-seaweed.html . Water treatment chemicals would be a major issue I think but I don't know if treated water counts or really have any idea.

I looked for organic hops in the UK and could not find any.

@Gareth Davies might be able to help out there. https://www.darkfarm.co.uk/

Oh bloody hell - you're in reinheitsgebot territory of only being able to use acid malt if the mash needs acidifying.

Gypsum is naturally occuring but don't know if it needs impurities removing, and calcium chloride is made from brine and hydrochloric acid. It depends on what people want to class as organic. Everything we can physically interact with is a chemical. Suppose it depends on how wanky you want to get when you wanna get wankered.

I suppose the OP could get his water anylysed (or do it himself with salifert kits) and just brew beers suitable to his water's profile. E.g. I can brew superb dark beers with water straight out of the tap (I dont even need to add campden tabs as it's not that chlorinated) but need to acidify it to strip out the alkalinity if I want to brew pale beers

I was reading something not long ago where this company was selling some painfully harmful patio cleaner that would basically strip the flesh of anything living within 100 yards. People were calling them out on how awful the stuff was to which the guy responded "Sodium, Hydrogen and Oxygen occur naturally so this is a natural product" (or something equally absurd).

Sulphuric acid occurs naturally in volcanicaly active places if you need any.

Now your scaring the poor bloke off. I bet he wished he never asked in the first place

And gastric juices are largely hydrochloric acid with a pH of 1. Ye that's right - top of the shop strong. No wonder my heartburn hurts so bad. Organic... pah! Nuthin' new under the sun. I avoid 'organic' stuff like the plague; without added chemicals they taste **** and are good only for giving eco-warrior types summat to munch on ethically whilst banging on about climate change. Pass the sodium chloride please...

As soon as I saw the thread title, I kind of knew we would be getting 'the view from the Gunge' at some point or other. In all it's un-reconstructed glorious manliness

Hey you're welcome! Butcha know I'm right lol. I only go to the supermarket cos the organic section is good for a laugh.... a pitiful selection of tiny, wrinkled survivors of whatever it was that took out the rest of the crop cos it wasn't soaked in lovely chemicals, all for twice the price of proper grub!

I do think that sometimes the whole organic thing is a bit over the top. Its not like the farmers have been dipping the fruit and veg in arsenic. I wonder if it's another thing we've imported from the US where food safety law is a lot more lax

 

[Gunge]

Ye - we'd have starved to death long ago or population growth would have gone into reverse without those horrible chemicals. But I would say that... I'm the chairman of ICI and was recently headhunted by Monsanto.

Thanks.
I’ll get an order off today.
Cheers

If you go with the Juice strain make sure you've got plenty of head space in the FV and/or a blow off tube - its VERY much a top fermenter
