Hi Ted

I am operating a brew center in Salem using a 500 gallon Norsen and a 50 gallon KIS. I keep careful track and monitor my teas for pH, temp and DO2. I am interested in your water treatment experiment. I made one special brew over the summer in the KIS brewer for a special show at the Oregon Garden that had the most phenomenal active fungus I have seen in two years. I don't know what caused it but I would really like to figure it out. I was using water from the well on our farm for that one.

Folks:

I have been experimenting with flow-form (kind of) technology (actually a way to make a certain kind of water molecule) and came up with a design that was supposed to make a certain kind of water. Well, it sort of worked -- the water circulated correctly -- but mostly failed. However it was a momentous failure! I failed to get the water I wanted but stumbled onto something else. I have been running the new technology next to one of my brewers and a competitor's brewer and I will simply state that the results I have measured are off the map. Everything worked better, the bacteria I can see with the microscope simply exploded. Rods and cocci everywhere. When I first looked at the sample, I thought I had gotten a piece of plastic or something in the sample. I have never seen so much activity. I brewed the same amount of compost from the same pile and with the same nutrients measured by weight. All the water was the same. I can say this. Flow forms, even simple ones
 , seem to work because they add O2 and increase surface area.

I need 5 people to sign an non-disclosure agreement and do some testing. You will have to invest about $35 to $50 in parts and I will give you exact specifications of what you need and how you need to do it. You can get the parts locally. I then need you to send samples to me so I can compare them with that I am seeing. After I get some confirmation, I will have everyone send one sample to Elaine. I will pay for the sample and the testing with SFI.

I really think I have accidently hit on something quite fantastic here but further experimentation and confirmation from other people are needed. When I say more bioactivity, I mean I was blown away with the samples. My brewers are good. They make good tea but this is an order of magnitude improvement. I had no idea. And the best part about it is that it is far less expensive than the technology I was using before. It is about $200 less expensive to build.

To Tom:

A vortex by any other name is a vortex. While my brewers have lots of air actions and water circultation, this new approach creates vortices. I am flat blown away.

I will apply for patents Monday and have an ND ready by Wednesday at the latest. So if anyone is interested, please drop me a line.

Nick and Judy:

You should have received the package but if you haven't, I have gotten most of it on line so I can just send it that way.

Look folks. I am stoked out of my mind. I never thought that this would happen like this but before I get too carried away with my own self-delusion, I need some confirmation. It would be the happiest accident I could think of. However, the water molecule stuff just flat failed. Great idea but doesn't work as I am using it. So I guess NASA was correct in rejecting it.
