Yes, when I got it I put it in a 2L starter which was a bit slow to get going, split it in two and put one in the fridge, and used the other with another 2L starter which went off like a rocket, so I reckon I have about 200bn cells for tomorrow, which should do the job
 
I've had to abandon today, there was a leak on my boiler where the heating element goes in, and of course it doesn't want to unscrew.

As it's a plastic bucket I think I'll cut it out and build another boiler, hopefully.
 
Hi Good Ed,

That's a shame; I've had something similar in the past and it's such a pita after getting geared up for the day.

Hope you get it sorted.

Cheers
