It seems RO water may have more benefits then first thought - but what will it do to water profile e.g. Flavour and character - I was on a distillery tour not too long ago and had a real blast - was a little dissapointend when I found out they actually RO they're water that they take from a...

Teach me your ways o great 1 !

Thanks for the heads up

Personally I would take a 500 ml sample and dilute it with 500 ml of water ( this will give you an idea of what it will be like) basically to give it a taste, give it a swirl and taste it, if it tasted like watered down squash add some more lemons n wat not to the FV once you've added the 2...

Sounds like a tried n tested recipe to me, recipe of trial and error or someone else's ?

I'm a south of the river sorry !

I second this.

Part of that is the fact that it is brewed out to a higher abv, when I make strong ginger beer once it's taken and I've tweaked it and had later additions as weeks go on it isn't phased by such mortal things as oxidisation or having that flat or still flavour as it's a force to be reckoned with!

Draw off a pint/ 500 ml , add Splenda or your non-fermentable sweetener of choice to it in small increments, stirring it in properly so you get a good idea etc Now multiply the amount you added by the remaining volume e.g. 22 litres left and you were testing on 500 ml test batch then times it...

If you wanted to get really creative use water from the wort chiller to sanitise the inside of the bottles, if it's cold water coming from your tap then there's no extra cost - you are just using the transferred energy from the boiling/boiled wort to now sterilise the inside/out of the bottles...

So the real question is, at what speed do you overtake a cyclist ? At what point do you think it is okay to give abuse to any other road user ? Why is it (mostly) perfectly good people become animals behind the wheel and blame it on road rage ? If a cyclist is keeping up with traffic or...

As said above it will be safe to use half and just roll it up to reseal it It's what I do with champagne yeast which I buy 100g's of at a time and it still works great - no off flavours or tinges, because I'm careful (mostly) when putting it back in the fridge

I have the ace brew system with step programming and wondering if I should have gone with this as someone from work wants 1 and don't want to push them in the wrong direction :S

WHat type of yeast did you use ? Different strains bring out different flavours etc and muddy or practically hide others

Free is free :D Which area ?

I have one of those and a bottle tree and never even realised they were ment to go together:doh:
