Sunday now and its still bubbling loads! It was mean't to be done Thursday, do I need to wait till it actually stops bubbling completely? Also, because of the high juice which was put into it to flavor (i've tasted a sample and its quite fruity which is good), will using liquid carbon to filter...

I have liquid charcoal will this do the trick? As I don't have a charcoal filter setup Cheers

After putting the extra yeast in mate, its bubbling like crazy constantly! It was mean't to be finished (48 hour 14% yeast), started on tuesday! I don't want it to go too high, do you reckon I should stabilizer it? Its literally a constant bubbling...

So, I have just checked again - I seem to be get bubbles about every 40 seconds? Which doesn't seem very regular to me? Any ideas?

Ingredients used: 1 packet of 48hr turbo yeast (14%). 6 KG Sugar 4 1L bottles of sainsbury's high juice 20L water Done all of this last night, but it doesn't seem to be bubbling through the airlock. It is smelling really yeasty in the room but I can't seem to get it going. I have given the...

Yeah, The range is £2.49 for 1kg and Wilko's is £2.50 for 1kg. Clarke.

I haven't checked using the hydrometer, I added the turbo clear today, so I can check it when it has cleared tomorrow (hopefully). I stopped it by, siphoning it into another fermenting bucket (stirred to remove gas) and then added the turbo clear and stirred. Clarke

I'm guessing you could press the juices from the fruit and then filter out all of the bits. Alternatively, you could purchase 100% pure fruit juice? But i'm new to this and don't know how well either of these would work in the final product... Clarke

Thanks Bob :cheers:. I think the part that threw me off of using a hydrometer, was that it looked really confusing and I didn't understand it (I do have one). Like, you're saying SG and 1.141, but this means nothing to me haha. Thanks, Clarke :cheers:

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I accidentally broke the spirit metre earlier (probably for the best). I guess the part I am concerned about is the alcohol content, should I be pretty much good to say I have at least 17-20%? Also, was I okay to stop fermentation after day 5, this was when...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the homebrewing world. I recently invested in the kit to start fermenting the Alcotec 48 hour - 5 days 20% High Alcohol. I added the liquid carbon during the fermenting process. Upon waiting 5 days the airlock stopped bubbling, I then siphoned it into the new fermenting...
