Re: dry hopping

I've used leaf hops to make a hop tea in a coffee jug. Wait three or four days for most of the CO2 is disperse. Let the hops steep for 20 minutes to let the boiling water cool.

Re: moving holes up

Is it really worth faffing around when you can get a new 25 litre FV with lid for £4.99 delivered (if your total spend is over £10). I was also looking in Wilko's where some of their rectangular storage containers have food-safe stamps.

Re: Storage of grain

Wilko's sell an 80 litre storage container with lid for £7 which you could probably fit a sack into. Wouldn't be totally airtight but the amount of moisture transfer would be minimal. If worried, tape the lid or dump a spoonful of Calcium Chloride in the bottom.

Re: steralizing bottles

I use a two litre jug of 1.25ml/l videne solution to sanitise cleaned bottles. It only needs 20 seconds contact time. I pour a cupful of solution into a bottle and shake. Repeat until the jug is empty, then shake the bottles as I drain back into the jug. Then on to the next batch of bottles. Before ...
