A good wash and rinse after use and drained/dried on a bottle tree. On bottling day I use a rinser same as post #10 above half filled with none rinse sanitiser. Give them a few plunges on the rinser and hang them back on the bottling tree to drain before being refilled. I give the bottling...
All the MJ kits I've brewed have stated 20 - 25 in the instructions and they've all fermented with no issues at 22. That said they've all come with M44 yeast.
Did your kit come with M54 yeast? If so......
Usage Directions: Sprinkle directly on up to 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort. For best results...
The media preached for three and a half years that the UK had changed its mind and wanted to remain in the EU. Then the 2019 election proved the polar opposite.

I did similar with my last brew after reading on here that DME dissolved better in warm water than in boiling water. No more chasing lumps around the fermenter:laugh8:
Very nice! I've been doing MJ kits too and appreciate the review, thanks.
I've got an MJ American IPA 7 days in the fermenter with 1.2kg MJ LME. I'm tempted to tweak with Jester hops but think I'll stick to the supplied pellets for the first time.
