Hi All,
After attending a seminar from Arden Andersen i am now thinking about the a=
ddition of B12 to my brews. I realise this is probably supplied through the=
 seaweed, but would there be any merit in adding a few mls to a batch? It i=
s reasonably cheap and would be required in very small doses. (should have =
seen the look on my vets face when I said it is not for my dog but my viney=
ard! :).
According to Arden many microbes are unable to synthesize B12 but most need=
 it for growth. Anecdotal evidence about the effects of B12 on flavors is v=
ery interesting!

Also does anyone know anything about the weed -variable willow herb (Epilob=
ium billardierianum ssp. cinereum) in terms of is F:B requirements or how =
to kill the blasted thing! no herbicide seems to have any affect.(not that =
ive used a herbicide, ive just been told by a conventional farmer :)
thanks
Anthony
