    Lots of suspended particles

    Instructions vs Experience

    Gassy Sample screwing up SG?

    Aerating your wort

    A friend of mine and I came up with something, just wanted to get some opinions... Could you not get something like a 10 L jug of water and run an aquarium aerator through the jug for an hour or something before you add it to your wort? Would that help? It would mean you could do it WHILE you...

    Coopers Starter kit and a cold basement
