Hi Mike,

As some List members have noted, brewing in old houses doesn't work well. That

has been my experience; living in new construction usually means no brewing

problems, living in old houses often means either a slow brew or no brew - it

doesn't turn at all.

In your writings, I seem to recall that KT doesn't do well in the presence of

mold, which is often in old houses. Other than moving, which is not an option at

present, is there anything I can do besides brewing elsewhere? Yes, I tried the

distilled vinegar thing, it didn't work. Using an ozone generator kills the

brew.

Thanks,

my house is over 175 years old, have had a few bouts with mold, but in 12

yrs no other problems.

During the period 1994 to 1997 when our research was conducted, I was living

in a house that was over 100 years old with not negative effects on the

ferments.
