Thanks, guys. I will look for the Iodophor.

Is there a generic equivelant to StarSan? Something I could pick up at my local HB shop? Joe.

Thanks, HB. This is like worrying about your kids all over again.

I put on a Festa Brew kit wednesday evening. By thursday morning it had developed a very good head. This morning(friday) the head has thinned out considerably. Is this normal? The kit is a brown ale and is sitting at room temp. I have not taken an sg reading. I will wait another day or two...

Glad you enjoyed the story, Jeff. My home village is called Cape Wolfe on the north-west end of the Island. Famous moonshine country too.:drunk:
