    Best honey? 🍯

    I find if I have a brew that's not doing what it should if I just ignore it and make out like I don't care they get board and start to cooperate in the end (or is that kids and pets).

    Wine clearing

    I've always found colder the better for clearing. The only advantage I can think of in a warmer temp would be to reduce the amount of CO2 the liquid can hold in solution.

    Anybody use a water filter rather than bottled water?

    Simple carbon filter I make from two 2l pop bottles with activated carbon. Drill two 0.75mm holes in the bottle top and push a little coffee filter paper into the cap on the inside before adding carbon. The tie wrap around the bottom bottle just stops the top one sliding down too far. I get the...

    You couldn't make it up.

    I only stopped eating Weetabix because I hadn't thought of putting cheese or beans on them. Weetabix and Marmite now there's another idea! They're back on the shopping list now.

    Best place to order wine kits?

    I'll second that and they're quick to answer emails.

    Banana wine

    That reminds me, the Marmite wine has been sat ageing (being ignored) for a few months. I need to try it again to see if it's worth another go with a modified recipe.

    Strange facts.

    I like a good paradox and Hilbert's hotel is infernity paradoxical.

    Captain Sir Tom died today.

    What the man has taught me is: I'm only halfway through my life and it's possible to achieve to the end.

    Very low final gravity reading

    If you're happy to use campden tablets that makes up half of most stabilizers, potassium metabisulfite E224 (campden tabs) and Potassium Sorbate E202. This explains really well and may convert you, I'm happy to use both: Wine stabilizer

    Young’s Harvest Barley Wine

    Love this review of Gold Label off the Asda web site: I can’t get enough of this beer. Like a late winters sunset it is deep gold in colour and goes down slowly. If you like a full bodied, hoppy, crisp beer with the intense embrace of a long lost lover then you are in for a treat. Add a hint of...

    Is there a way to store liquid finings and preserve them?

    Welcome to the forum. I can't remember when it became a thing but if I remember correctly the first part has an electric charge that attracts the particles together and the second part takes them down to the bottom.

    Is there a way to store liquid finings and preserve them?

    The 2 part I have is Chitosan and Kieselsol, I checked after your post and it does say store in a cold dark place. And I have to say that post brexit, covid riden UK is an ideal place.

    Good luck with the brew and also best of luck on the employment front.

    Is there a way to store liquid finings and preserve them?

    I have been using 2 part finings that I bought in 1l bottles for the past 18 month. I just keep them in the fridge and dicant in to two smaller 50ml bottles to limit the amount of times they get opened.

    Jam wine

    When you try to spread it does it make your bread soggie like the jam wine?

    Very low final gravity reading

    Unless it's changed, I'm led to believe it's a yeast strain cultivated to ferment to a high alcohol tolerance for uses such as fuel and other industrial processes, so off flavours and odors wasn't a consideration.

    Very low final gravity reading

    I wouldn't recommend it, it tastes foul and smells even worse. Just use EC1118 and go for 18% for a clean neutral taste.
