Subject: Oxidation in bottles

In John Palmer's "How to brew" (3ed) p92 he says 
that there have been several studies that have shown 
that yeast only consume 30% of the oxygen in the
headspace of the bottle.

Received wisdom in the UK is that the yeast 
consumes effectively all of the yeast, so I was 
wondering if anyone has references for
any of the studies or better still copies?

Subject: Rollers for Nothing

I have two hollow stainless steel rollers approx. 2.25" in 
diameter and 15" long. They have small horizontal grooves 
cut in them. They were for the mill I never got around to 
making. If you want to pay shipping, I will send them to 
you.

I have two solid rollers I built my first mill with. They
are at the house but I would guess 8" long and approx. 
3" in diameter. I think it was a 5/8" nut weiled to each
end. They are VERY heavy. If anyone close by want 
them, or you want to pay shipping get in touch.

Subject: mixing yeasts ?

I recently mixed several yeasts, in that they were all old and I thought I
would maximize the chance that something would wake up.  One was a 2 year
old Wyeast German Ale, one was a 2 year old Wyeast Ringwood, and the third
was also several years old, but a dry Safale 25.

The result was interesting.  And, each time I re-use it , I think that I
get more of the "ringwood" flavor (some of that diacetyl).  Do you guys
ever mix yeasts?  And, then re-use?

Darrell
