  • Thanks.

    I have glass bottles but was sick when it was bottling time and it was just easier to use the plastic ones. They’re basically my emergency bottles.

    As for the temp, it seems that with this kit it needs to be on the cooler side (18-21c). The room I was doing it in is fairly cool but not that cool and it creeped up to 23c for probably about 10 of the initial 24 hours unfortunately. When I noticed I got the wet towels out which helped a lot.

    After that it says to keep is between 15-21 on the online instructions, and 14-18 on the physical ones. I avged about 16c throughout the brew phase so got that okay.

    With the warmer weather coming, I’m concerned I won’t be able to keep this cool enough without some extra stuff (was thinking an old freezer unit for insulation, and some kind of wet blanket or ice pack rotation).












  • It’s an interesting problem.

    Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can’t afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just jot really manage this situation well?

    My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.
