First question to teacher(s) about mesh
1. best yeast? cheapest is best for foaf, if it takes while to ferment not a problem.
2. Should ya add corn? Or just sugar, Or ???????
3. Plastic cooler make a good container for the mesh?
Made wine before and can make air trap.
About the foaf still thoughts.
Swim doesnt understand how do you tell when the poison is off. Best ways to tell? Been the biggest reason why no lightening has ever been made by her.
Any thoughts is cool.

1. So many different types of yeast: ale or lager, mead, cider, wine. It really depends on what you're brewing (Beer/Wine/Cider) and what style you're shooting for.
2. Corn, depends. You can use anything that has fermentable sugars. I use dextrose (corn sugar) when bottle carbonating.
3. Plastic can and is used, but it can easily be scratched which makes it harder to fully clean. Cleanliness is paramount in brewing as it is in mycology. For larger batches I use 5 gallon "Better Bottles" and for test batches I use 1 gallon glass wine jugs.
The "poison" that you mention is not an issue in brewing as it is in distilling.
