You know, I was gonna mention something about oil. We didn't have the right stoppers today for the test tubes in my enviormental science class, so we used vegetable oil. Ironically, we are studying the different effects of yeast and bacteria... Wish I would've known, becuase I would have snuck in some nutrient. ;D

a ballon you say good idea

A balloon works great but to share a story...

This was during my college days and my roommate and I were experimenting with brewing. We both settled on ciders as we liked them and it was fairly easy to do. We were using ballons, big ones and we set all this up and went to sleep, each of our respective brews in our rooms (trying to outbrew each other of course.) In the wee hours of the morning there came a great bang and a string of explicitives from his room. I investigated and discovered that he'd failed to poke a hole in the balloon resulting in a not so quiet reminder of his mistake. I had a hard time breathing I was laughing so hard. He learned his lesson, poke a pinhole in the @%#! balloon!
