    Strange Wine SG behaviour

    It's just repeating that it must be completely stopped. But you are right, it might have been better put. Couldn't you tell if was fizzy or not?

    Strange Wine SG behaviour

    The bubbles might sit there for a few days, don't worry. The instructions say degass 3 times a day for 3-4 days. I just leave it longer and don't bother. But you have tasted it so you know if it has been degassed enough. If there are no new bubbles, carry on following the instructions. If...

    Six nations.

    Italy show signs of being able to compete but can't keep it up for 80 minutes. Then under pressure the indiscipline comes in. Since Parisse retired they haven't been at the same level. I'm not sure Georgia would be better but it has been suggested a promotion playoff might help in the long...

    I have a bet against the French so at least I'll be compensated. 😊

    Fermentation Stalled?

    Looks like it is behaving like mine did. I put a, 15ml spoonful of sugar in and fairly soon there were lots of bubbles which then slowed/stopped after a day or so. Proving the yeast ok and the fermentation finished. I reckoned it couldn't have been something I did but something amiss with the kit.

    Cleaning bottles

    😊 Since I started with the no rinse (which I rinse), I just checked and I have done 18 kits. No problems associated with cleaning. For anyone just starting, here is my very simple way. If not washing straight away, pop the cap back on to avoid any drying overnight. That includes used crown...

    That'll be a yes then.

    Cleaning bottles

    Have I missed a joke? I take them off for bottling.

    Yes, always caps on for storage.

    Ah. Medicine ball rugby. They were the days!

    Imagine climbing the gym rope ladders. Great fun.

    Since 8.19pm? Only kidding. All adds to the discussion.

    Fermentation Stalled?

    Don't worry yet, time can be your friend. If it is still the same after a couple of days and the beer is noticeably clearer it has surely stopped. Come back then.

    A little over an hour these days for bottling. Start to finish.

    Cleaning bottles

    And me. Used VWP for years and Chempro SDP before that. Was paranoid about rinsing so changed about a year ago to save time. Only rinse once now. Old habits die hard. And it works anyway.

    I have about a dozen or so beers to choose from. Some from this time last year. Couldn't do that with anything other than bottles. I'm in the PBC but surely we can all exist together. Bottleism and Keggism have no place in a civilised society.

    Sour taste - ruined?

    I am not an expert, but I know there's tons of stuff on here. And probably dozens of different methods and products people use. But it comes down to 1-clean, 2-sanitise which you have done. I know. But I would be sick if another £22 went down the drain. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Sour taste - ruined?

    What a shame. Brew Safe shouldn't be a problem. And if it's vinegar then some bacteria probably got in somewhere along the line. I keep a tub of VWP handy in case I think something might not be perfectly clean. Otherwise I just use a no rinse sanitiser. Just a thought. Why not try a cheap...
