Hold up just a few steps though. What is the purpose of this test? Is it to find a better brewer? Or is it to find the better method (eg: Test1: air, water, air/water pumping, Test2: Container size/shape, etc etc etc)?

 

I don’t think we are looking to find the better brewer this soon, are we? I think if we get the technology figured out first, it will help to not exclude a given mfg from business. We’re here to help them make better brewers, not put them out of business by hitting them with bad publicity due to potentially poor results; I’d rather work with a mfg who is willing to continually improve their brewers – not one that has the best brewer NOW. The tech is new, the idea is new – I don’t expect anyone to be the best in this field yet. This way too, the mfg’s have a chance to use the information from the tests to enhance or better improve their brewers. We all win that way.

 

It personally think we should be testing for best containers size/shape, pumping method waaay before testing a given manufacturer. That’s my two cents though. Others?

 

Following the tests, a round robin discussion would be neat to hear what the brewers think of the results, what the consumers thought, ways to better test the next time, and better, for all to discuss ideas for improvement of the machines, technology, etc.

 

Thanks for taking this thought seriously folks, its great!

Jeff, thanks for that good news. Now we have a standard compost.

 

What are the next steps?

 

What will be the standard recipe for the size of the machine, temperature, etc.?

 

Should ingredients be determined by SFI?

 

Should compost amounts be determined by SFI or the manufacturer of the brewer?

 

Which one of you will take the lead and put this shebang together? (I imagine there

would be e-mails off-list in handling this.)

 

Who out there is willing to participate in testing? Lurkers are needed and wanted.

 

How many are participating and which brewers are included?

 

If the brewer manufacturers are not on this list will they be contacted to join the test?

 

Judi

If SFI does the testing, we will throw in the Alaska Humus as the compost to use......

 

Cheers,
