I've had my hand in a full KK when I forgot to put the float in prior to filling. :oops: Tastes great. Might incorporate it into future recipes: :lol:

As the strain of yeast affects the taste, there are probably thousands of species of "nasties" out there that get killed off by sanitization - maybe a few of these would actually be beneficial in small quantities, just waiting to be discovered, packaged and sold for a quid for 11g ...

my hops are stored in jam jars with no lids on top of the microwave oven, I can see how many hops I have left as there's a fluorescent light above them for most of the time.

I check the strike temp with me elbow, I sometimes mash for just 20 mins if I'm rushed,

also bread yeast in conjunction with fermenting in the hot airing cupboard (about 28C) makes lovely fruity tasting beer, and is done within 48hrs then bottled

my beer turns out excellent, guess I'm just lucky :^o
