Welcome Beardman

I must confess I am 'stocking up' ready for the big event, as you say fear of running out. Of course your brewing friend is quite right, hopefully I'll survive this Christmas and have decent stocks accumulated for next year.

Welcome to the forum Maggie.

Great to hear from you 568ml, just realise what pms meant ...DOH! Christmas! An organised home brewer.... there's a novelty!

Nice one gedcarson, good to see you here, the knowledge in this forum is humungous, makes sense to make use of it.

Hi Mark ...er ... Shiny, After you have a few brews under your belt you will soon be experimenting and fine tuning your brews to suit you.

Hi there uksounds, Good to see you here, just one thing ... the only stupid question is the one you don't ask! The guys here are fountains of knowledge on home wine and beer making, drink well and ask away!

That's a very impressive picture hypnoticmonkey!

Be interesting to know how it turns out, what was the starting sg by the way? If you have the starting sg of when you made some without the extra RGC it would be interesting to know the difference too.

Oh no! You used the 'S' word ...s***d! Buy wisely, brew carefully, drink copiously and stuff the rest!

Great picture.... is that a Still in the background? Only joking! Welcome brewpirate

Woah! This man is a seasoned brewer! Welcome mate.

Personally I keep the airlock in up to the stage when it's clear and racked off, either you keep it in a DJ for conditioning, in which case you can top it upto the neck and put a solid bung in the DJ, or bottle it. Hope that helps.
