Glen - I also plate out teas FMI so will do as you
suggest and see if it affects the microbes. Thanks for the
info.

activate the compost?
Dave-I've been using the saponin available to me in Canada
which is also "preserved", in this case with copper.
However, once
it's diluted 1:1000 it will only contribute about 1ppm copper to the
material--I'm just using it in my spray tank. My homestyle plate
tests have indicated no adverse effects from this level of preservative,
might be different with benzoate, and in the actual brewing
process...?

saponin and fish hydrolysate in the same brew? I wonder if the oil
in the FH might cancel some of the foam from saponin. Also, I've
only found a "food quality" yucca extract for a source of saponin and it
has sodium benzoate as a preservative which means it shouldn't be used,
