Nice one.....

Roddy · Aug 30, 2015

interestingly I used a 5g sachet of Gervin yeast as I'd run out of the Youngs stuff I usually use. It's cracking on just as it usually would but with just 5g instead of 5 heaped teaspons of the Youngs stuff... makes me question why the Youngs needs so much more put in

anyone scientific (or not!) know why that is ?

The tub says use 1 heaped teaspoon per gallon, i use a level teaspoon and have never had one fail, i only use 3 teaspoons in 22.5 litres of wine and again it has never failed, i imagine they tell you to use 1 teaspoon per gallon so it doesn't fail and also it means you use it faster.

Incidentally, this was one I stopped early (1.020) to see how sweet it tastes, haven't tried it yet (on a no booze for September kick), but will try it next week

takes abv down to about 10.5%

now bottled ÃÂ Â½ÃÂ¸Æ
