Great info everybody! You can revive a culture that goes bad and makes lots of hooch by "washing" it, diluting until there are few beasties left then building it back up. I've had to do this too. You...

One more quick question...if I use the carbonation drops, do I also need to add yeast? If so then how do I do that? Maker a starter then add a drop or whatever to the bottles? Does it matter how much...
