Then again, you are boiling your stuff in that pot for an hour. That alone should be sufficient to kill anything that moves there. So maybe you can drop the Iodophor. Unless your pot is awfully ugly, perhaps normal diswahing soap, brush, and a bit of hard work could be sufficient to get it clean? NaOH is a rather unpleasant chemical to work with. > Omstikningen: > Så er vi vist inde på et religiøst område.

The most logical time would be after the primary fermentation is complete. That means, after it has developed a good layer of foam, and (most of) that foam has disappeared again. The timing can vary a bit, depending on many things. Somewhere between two days and two weeks. > Hmm, synes det var en ting mere. Nå men det må jo komme en anden gang. If your next mail is going to be "I have just started my first beer, and nothing seems to be happening", the standard advice is "wait a few more days before you panic". Might already tell you that now, so you don't have to panic first ;-) Good luck for your first Ale. And watch out, it can be rather addictive stuff. After that it will be hard to go back to your regular Tuborg or Ceres... Mvh Heikki -- Heikki Levanto [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In Murphy We Turst"
