Re: Quantity of Yeast

I started using an old down comforter my wife was gonna throw out. Folded in half (doubled over) and a few binder clips to hold it in place.

Re: Haus' 4" flute adventure

Made a bit more progress. Got it mocked up and plate tree done. 184 - 1/16th" holes. Did some filp-flopping on down comers. Decided on the no-cups even though I made the cup type. I'll keep those in reserve.

Mold? Rinse it real good and flip it upside down to drain any excess water and let it air dry.

I wouldn't sweat it to much. If you really want to see what's going on, align a mark on the lid and on the bucket near the leak.
