@Lewd101,
I try to go over some recipes in my journal/diary. Biggest thing is high quality compost, diverse food sources(microbe catalyst) and humic/fulvic acids (microbe superfood/catalyst of catalysts)
I try to feed the bacteria with a small amount of simple sugars, then more complex carbs for the fungi (steel cut oats, kelp, fish and multiple flours like coconut and wheat)
Hope that helps, and using an Air Lift is key for proper aeration, oxygen is generally lacking in most brews
❤️
