Is Fermentation Stopper (like in Youngs or Wilko's) the same thing?

A hydrometer

Ive just tested it again and its gone back to 1020???? I had decanted it as suggested earlier to see if there was anything left at the bottom but nothing to see. God knows what's going on! I think I did put too much water in trying to get everything out of the can (obviously using cold water...

1020 as i say earlier!

Hmmmm 7 days later, its managed to go to 1010. 1.3% alcohol. Any ideas what i can do?

Not got my notes with me but 1020 i think

On a sidenote, who makes brewing buckets without a volume measurement on it?

Something appears to be happening...

Beware buying too cheaply. “The Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Injustice runs thus: At the time of Men at Arms, Samuel Vimes earned thirty-eight dollars a month as a Captain of the Watch, plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots, the sort that would last years and years, cost...

Im stirring it every day. Ill give it a few days and see what happens

I actually tried rehydrating it for a while.

Im making some rhubarb wine using the recipe in the River Cottage Handbook. I pitched the yeast yesterday morning at about 8am and there seems to be no action at all today. By contrast, a wine i made from a kit was bubbling away within just a few hours and is glooping every few seconds. So...

Thats a good point - and will save me money!
