Im drinking a Williams Bros- Alloa, Scotland - 7 Giraffes. This beer is minted.(really good in Scottish)

Thats awesome, yeah im bottling my next batch today. What would you suggest if im bottle conditioning i.e time to condition - then time untill you put in to the refrigerator? That looks like a great idea on your part, ill use my supply of micron cloth untill it runs out then i think i may adopt...

I put it on the mesh end into my fermenter ensuring that all the sediment stays in the fermenter.

So will i get away with it if im using Carbonation pellets ? I have racked my bottles and they have been in the fridge for about a week or so but there is still quite a bit of sediment, will that be the sugars i take it?

Thanks mate, i was thinking do, we have other micron cloth but it was so fine that it almost felt as if there werent any holes on it. I sort of avoided this at first as i have read here and there that if you take it too far down under 0.5um, that you can start to take nutrients away from your...

Thanks CG, i know Starsan is what im going to go for but i thought, hey, better ask those in the know, might be missing a trick. The consensus here is "stop being a tightass and pay for some Starsan!" Hahaha, you sound like my wife ;) Thanks!

Hey EPS, its at home to be honest. What i do know is they use it for rinsing off salads and what not. Might aswell ask as you get some purpose sanitizers that you need to wash the chlorine smell from. My worry is if no-one has heard of it maybe its better left alone.

Hi there, just thought id pop my head in the door and say hello to everyone on the forum. I am from Erskine in Scotland and i have appreciated all the info that you guys put up here. I have had a beer epiphany if you will as up untilll maybe October beer was a chore to me, it was a means to an...
