    Capacity for Pressue Fermenter

    I'm wanting to up my brewing capacity for 2 kegs (40 litres). I pressure ferment and therefore want a fermentersaurus / fermzilla.

    Using biscuits (cookies) in the mash

    I am trying to replicate a desert in a beer and thought it would be cool to add the biscuits (cookies in American, not American biscuits) from the desert into the mash as well.

    brewing using bread

    Has anyone ever brewed using bread? I've heard it can be done by just adding the bread to the mash and i can't see why that wouldn't work and add sugar to the wort? I would use left over sourdough ideally as i can get that from where i work, would the sourdough yeast have any effect? in my mind...
