The home brew shop. Just searched start san on Google and used first listing.

Thanks for your help everybody. You've helped put my mind at ease a little.

No worries. What about smell and feel? Should it have a scent and soapy feel

Hi all. Don't know if I have mixed it correctly. But after reading so many posts about star san. Don't fear the foam etc. I was kinda expecting more. I used 8ml for a 5lt demi John of solution. But it seems like such a small amount. When I've sprayed through a spray bottle there is no foam...

At 992 it has probably finished fermenting. The time it takes to ferment out can be different for each brew. It depends how warm it was. How much sugar was there in the first place etc.

Hi Richard. Just thought I would say hello. Can't help with your question as I'm pretty new to brewing myself but you have come to the right place for advice. Everybody on is here is really friendly and helpful. Welcome and good luck with your brewing.

Well I was close. Ha ha. Last science lesson was more than 20 years ago. I should of been paying more attention at the back of class.

Avoid was obviously meant to say acid.

The slimy feel is actually thin layers of skin cells sliding off your fingers. I remember being told this in science class in school. It happens when you get any strong acid on your skin. So it actually won't be slimy inside the bottle, and of course once the beer has gone in this dilutes any...

Toothache. Couldn't sleep all night despite the numerous double Talisker to numb the pain. Was looking forward to a Fathers day lie in too. Luckily got an emergency appointment at on call dentist in a couple of hours.

Yeah thanks again for replys. Just tasted but all I'm getting at the moment is sweet orange flavour. So will let it continue and chuck a Campden tablet in at the end and see how I get on.

Hi guys. I'm currently brewing a california Connoisseur 30 bottle Rioja. I've followed the instructions to the letter. I racked after primary fermentation. Waited for secondry fermentation to finish. Then moved onto degassing workout racking again. Just realised my mistake and was wondering...

Ha ha. Makes my mistake insignificant. Will taste when I get home from work later and decide what to do then. Cheers

Hi I started my first attempt at a wurzles orange wine today. It's only my 3rd brew in total. Anyway rookie mistake, but I didn't rinse demiJohn before starting. It's fermenting away nicely, but Should I put it down to experience and empty out and start again, or will it be ok to drink. Not...

Thanks a lot for your help.

Excellent. How long do you recommend?

I just had a thought. Can I use my h20 steam mop for sterilising wine bottles. It has an attachment that sprays a jet off super heated steam. If I aimed this down the neck of the bottle would this work. And how long would you recommend I leave it in for?

Guess it's the old saying that a watched put never boils. I've been checking every 30 minutes. I'll leave it now and look again in a day or so. If nothing after a few days I will be back for more advice. Thanks again for your help.

No problems. I was just concerned because the last one stayed so quick. Thinking about it they both had the same size packet of yeast for the 6 and 30 bottle pack. So maybe that plays a part. Thanks
