I'd recommend using the Debco organic potting mix, its a good 2 in 1 potting mix as it has a good balance of nutrients in the soil + slow release fertilizer From memory I think its about $12 a bag from bunnings. regardless of the type of your rhizomes your wanting to pot it'll really give the...

yeh i thought about siphoning from the top, what would you recommend to use? would you siphon directly into the bottle or to another fermenter? Would siphoning from the top would be kind of the same as racking the beer it? or am i way off the mark

So when you have a thick yeast cake build up down the bottom what is the best way to rack or bottle the beer? Wouldn't the yeast cake sediment end up just transferring from the fermenter and your left with a cloudy beer? as your picture shows my yeast cake build up is above the level of the...
