Did what you mentioned Moley and no tickle, decided to crush one from the bottom of the tube and still i could inhale. So shot them in the bin. Will buy some more these week ready for racking my WOW on saturday

I have a tub of campden tablets that are about 18months old. They have no best before date on them unlike most other items so do i assume they are still ok to use?

Thanks for the information guys, I will have to read that link a few times to understand it properley Aneray.

What is the purpose of citric acid in wine? I have seen a few recipes with it and a few without it. From what i can see i should add it to wines without citrus fruits in it? Would it be a major issue if i left it out.

Thanks for the advice I will put it in another dj. Am I right in thinking the bucket would be ok for primary fermentiaon then put it in a dj for clearing. I am just truing to get some use out of the 5ltr buckets I got in a cheap kit before.

When transferring for the clearing stage, instead of putting it in a demijohn with a airlock can i put it in a fermenter with a snap on lid with no airlock. If so how long can i leave it in the lid type buckets before bottling.

I have found a dozen bottles of a 5% AG brew i did some 2years ago. It has been in brown bottles out of direct sunlight in the garage. Will this still be drinkable? or am i looking at a few days off work with a bad belly!!

What is the accuracy of these probes? They seem very cheap but if they give true readings i will be geeting some

I'll give it a smell when i get back next week, Will there be enough yeast to carbonate or will it have dropped out of suspension, i have some more i can reseed with if need be, couple of grains per bottle?

I have done two AG brews, but due to work/family commitments i didn't have the time to spend a day doing another until my weekends become mine again. So i decided to do a Wherry kit just to keep my interest alive. Unfortunately the fermentation went slower than expected and i ended up having to...

How did this one turn out then?

Just had a thought that i don't know the answer to. Am sure one of you guys will know. Is it possible (or advisable) to pitch two different yeasts at the same time, to try to get the best of what they both bring to the party so to speak. If it was possible would the profile be the same every time?

Looks like a cracking day

Nice guide onelegout. I'm just wondering is there a recommended minimum amount of water to use per gram of gelatin. Or do you just what you think looks about right (i.e. a kettle full).

Any chance of the website address?

Brewing a big Kenny. had the same hydo reading yesterday, but will give it at least 7days so the yeast has time to tidy up. I fermented with s-04, Temp was a steady 22c. wish i could ferment couple degrees lower but i live in a very warm flat. Might invest in some cooler equipment Edit: should...

Fermentation as stop after 4days and gravity is down to 1013, should i leave it in fv for the rest of the 7days. or can i bottle now?

Have got a pipe bending spring so will give it a go, worth a try i suppose (saves me remaking one :thumb: ) Have just checked the gravity and after three days its at 1013 so don't think it'll have much more to drop. will check again in couple of days. Tasted the sample jar and a big :thumb: ...

That’s what I was thinking. Was just looking at pids and temp controllers and was wondering how people over came it. anyone thought of adding a motorized stirrer to their HLT. Although I think that would be overkill.
