I use ashbeck water from Tesco as my tap water makes it cloudy (which is bad apparently); I buy a 2 litre bottle and squeeze in 3.1 ml. Some of that I'll tip into a plant spray for erm, spraying, the rest I use for sloshing.

I use a 5 ml syringe that we originally had for medicines.

For bottles, I used to use my old vinator thing on top of the bottle tree, but now I get the bottles clean and dry after I've drunk them, give them a couple of squirts of starsan solution, and plonk a plastic beer resealer on top - then they should be ready for the next brew (I saw the idea somewhere on this forum, tis genius).
For tubes I tip some in one end, with my thumb over the other end and give it a good swirl around, then tip that back in the bottle of starsan. (then spray with starsan where I had my thumb).

A couple of litres last 3 brews without being at all stingy with it.


This sounds such a easy method , I'm going to do this , don't know what the bottle resealers are? Would clingfilm and an elastic band do the same?
