Simon, Potatoes are harder than most people think and you need a bit of experience to get them right. Books make it sound so easy because they tend to simpIify the process and take for granted that you have a full understanding and experience of all the steps involved quite often

Thank you for your reply David, I am using potatoes. As the first larger batch did not work I reduced the amount down to a test size of 1kg I cooked them until they were soft, choppped them up until they were a paste. I mixed 40grams of lager malt with water and let is sit for 1/2 an hour.
