    Cleaning glasses with PSR

    A mate regularly cleans his schooner glasses with PSR. His normal drinking habits are the same as mine - drink and rinse with hot tap water. Does anyone else clean their glasses with PSR and is it worth it? Cheers

    Basic Q re kits

    Most of the kits are based on 23 litres. If you make only 20 (what fits in the keg), what is the likely difference? Higher alcohol? A bit thicker? No difference, just less beer?

    Is The Yeast Alive?

    Put two batches of beer in the fridge. Both with the yellow saf larger yeast. Set the fridge controller to 15 degrees with a 2 degree variance. Stupid me... forgot to put the sensor in the fridge, meaning the fridge was chilled b to 4 degrees for 24 hours. Will the yeast wake up and start munching?
