    Anyone ever used this http://homebrewwest.ie/heading-powder-meb-40-pints-486-p.asp

    If so, how'd it go? How did you mix it in? I bought it and was planning on using it, but I'm a bit apprehensive now... It says to mix with 80 ml of water a day before adding to beer and bottling. I've mixed it with water and it's like thick glupe, nearly like gelly, could only imagine a fair bit of stirring would be required..which would involve racking before bottling, which I can't do (only one fermenting bucket) and also would involve the danger of reintroducing oxygen which could obviously ruin the batch...think I'll scrap it!

    I asked homebrewwest themselves and they said they've never used it and aggreed with my apprehensions, seems like a cheap gimmick or something!
    (only cost a euro)

    I can't say I have ever heard of anyone using this stuff. Why do you think you will need it? Any beer will form a head without special additives, unless there is something wrong.
