That sounds exceedingly generous of you both - it would seem an offer too good to turn down!

(believe it or not, i still have a, umm, sample, of the first batch of jelly i made also - so some to test with!)

The jets are are sensitive to viscosity.  I've been fuging feedstock and it requires about 45 deg c to be happy :-)

My thoughts are that, when hot, the jelly is fully fluid, but, as it cools, if it is *somthing* that holds the bio in a matrix, that somthing starts to solidify.

I was thinking that, if it could be removed, as soon as it appears, then it may not have time to lock up the bio.

If the above is the case, then the viscosity would be the same as the bio - the only way it would be thicker than that would be if the jelly was starting to form properly, and, if that were happening, my above ideas would be proved wrong anyhow.

Mate  you'd be welcomed to a fuge kit on loan for your experiments - perhaps the x country svc to get it to you.

i could drop into yours in a couple of weeks when i am going from cambridge to brackley, then on to cornwall. could arrange to meet julian somewhere along the A30 if that would help. usually stop for an hour near oakhampton.

Mate

Just give me a few days notice.  Got a consulting gig at the mo, which has me travelling a bit.  I'll get a kit put together and ready :-)

should get time to shoot over to Brackley in the next couple of weeks.  Got a colleague near Banbury, can always head that way for a meeting :-)
