and you will find another barsley brewer

i think he must have drunk all the contents :-)

could use online calculator like here

How was the feedback and where did you come in the comp?

most kits are quite optomistic in time ready, dont rush it and check your FG, make sure its done before moving on

I have always used the kit yeast but some use other yeasts, the kit will probably say rack at 1.010, I usually miss that target so end up racking after 2 weeks. is it a 7 day kit? just make sure you sanitise everything

hi, i doubt you would get a full bodied red from blackberrys anyway so you should be fine with them.

you can top up with water.

I use a bottling wand on the end of my siphon tube

the one im doing now has finished at.998 wouldnt go any lower, taking a while to clear, with yours you could make another batch and blend it to get rid of some of the sweetness, also i heard adding a touch of acid will take the sweetness taste down.

I used VWP on my ebay demi`s worked a treat left em for a week. use a nice strong mix,

I got some tube the right size for the bottler, cut a small piece off for the tap end, fit that at one end of tube and bottler at other. Works a treat for me

mine usually finish 0.994 - 0.990

0.992 is fine then :thumb:

well spotted that man :cheers:

sorbate stops the yeast reproducing, the sulphate helps stop oxidizing, what was your FG? you can still add the sulphate and degas, then your finings

Had it finished fermenting? if it had not then you have stopped it early

you could use a blow off tube, fit tube where airlock should go and route it into an old jar with water in it.

Yes they need to be layed down Jim so the cork won't dry out. My lhbs has stopped selling wineright and favorite corks due to the amount of complaints he was getting.

for that extra time you are wanting to do then yes I would not want all the head space in the carboy.
