Well that's gone and dunit, spent £150

One question Benoit would you use rubber
or fibre washers for these taps
I just used ptfe tape mate, just go careful when tightening up the hex nipple into the container. I overdid it on one of mine & made the threaded bit spin, it leaked a little after that & I had to seal it with silicon....learned my lesson for the other & that ones fine

You've done nothing ED, I simply know you to be an advocate of higher amounts of yeast & still having the occasional chuckle at your freak ferment the other week. I'm probably not far behind you to be fair....how much comes in those little tins? I must use half a tin per 23-25 litres, I don't seem to get many runs out of a tin anyway!
They are 125g tins, and I discovered last week that Amazon will ship at 65p a tin if you buy enough or combine shipping. 20 tins en route.plus extras.

Re: How much yeast
I try to save a few pennies and just use 100g.
My local Tesco do seem to have stopped stocking regular Allinson's.
Amazon have lost the 20 tins that I bought and they didn't deliver.
A couple of days to resolution.
Ho Hum!

Re: How much yeast
I found this article here about the difference between the type of yeasts.

I'm sure Mash has this for his washes...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mauripan-Insta ... ried+yeast
Then there's this bulk buy...works out at just over a £ per washhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Mauripan-I ... ried+yeast

Instant yeast may also be marketed and sold as rapid- or quick-rise yeast. This yeast has also been milled into smaller particles so it doesn't need to be dissolved into water.

Robert, it's knocks on the door of using olive oil but fails to go into the subject. I have used olive oil with good results.
