    thanks for the videos – I love the non-maniacal approach to brewing. It makes it much more accessible.

    I’ve got a few questions:

    Do you use bleach-water to sanitize the tubing used to fill your fermenters as well?

    yeast are faculatively anaerobic, fermentation and o2 respiration, as you pointed out. but not everything uses o2 for respiration. bacteria in soil, sewage, deep sea vents use other electron acceptors. O2 is deadly poison to all cells. we have enzymes to manage O2 damage, so we can utilize it.
