Hi All, As we brew every day, we have way more yeast available to us than we need. So I was wondering if anyone has got any good techniques for using up this yeast outside of brewing. Things I've thought of include: skin cream, pet food enhancer, yeast-extract and hair shampoo but has...

Hi, These pumps don't have bearings or shafts, they use a magnetic induction system to drive the impeller which is the only moving part. If the central "spike" on which the impeller spins is even fractionally out of true you will hear the impeller striking the casing wall. What you can...
