Wow, that seems to be "new" info--I seem to remember lots of discussion of =

bble size in the Kis Machine and the Bob-0-Lator.

he bubbles from an aquarium stone make tested adequate tea. What about diff=
user bubbles? Too small? Or is the real answer: get a O meter and make sur=
e you are 6 mg O2 per L or better?

thanks,
jeff
