Hey thanks I have family in bend.

Hehe. Not really. This corona virus killed the sushi bar I worked at. To go orders didn’t cut it. And even after the phase whatever you can eat at a restaurant again order the customers were as thin as public pool toilet paper. So no job. New diet! Sad for my bosses. I can only imagine how...

Hey thanks for those gravity numbers! Good to know my oral booze-o-meter is still calibrated haha! Yeah even if the hydrometer arrived I don’t have my IG, but I was planning on duplicating the must in a few days and taking the IG of that batch. Should be close enough, I used an accurate...

Hey hey HBT! So I guess I should introduce myself. Everyone calls me Ra, it’s a nickname that stuck from high school (although now I’m in my 30’s and people don’t yell “EYE OF RA!!” across the street at me anymore). I’ve been a sushi chef for over five years, with a head chef position for...

Google search, on the quest to figure out how much K meta powder to use. Found the answer I was looking for, and a lot of questions I didn’t know I wanted to answer.

Whoa. There is a censor?!? If you’re old enough to drink . . . You can read four letter curse words. Just my opinion. I dislike censorship in any form. We’re adults here. Being politically correct and not swearing just takes the fun out of life. It’s like not being able to say retard...

Hey guys! My first cider is almost done fermenting, and I wanted to thank you guys for the huge amount of information hidden away in this forum. My batch is still bubbling but very slowly. The thing is, I didn’t notice I till now that the jug of AJ I used wasn’t a full gallon. It was 2.84...

I love the metric system! The wiki article and that information completes the puzzle. Thanks guys! I appreciate it. I can work forward or backwards from those numbers.

Sadly my hydrometer arrived in several broken pieces. Same with the first fermenter I ordered. Now I have to order another one. I started without taking an SG reading because I figured ABV was irrelevant, I’ll just let it ferment dry and call it good. I have sorbate as well if I feel like...

Thanks for the link! I’m pretty excited about my first brew. Yes I have a digital pH meter, I’ll look into that for sure. Makes perfect sense. Hehe I figured I would make a strong first batch. I think i will leave it with the one lb of sugar though. 15% would be a bit much methinks.

Hey thanks for the reply. I usually discount Wikipedia though. I am aware of the “activity” discrepancy with Na and K meta. Everything Ive read pointed to K meta being superior ( in concentration and lack of sodium) so I have potassium metabisulfite and conversions are irrelevant. .44g...

Heya guys. I’ve been lurking for a long time. Almost every question was answered by the power of “search” My first batch is fermenting nicely. Deets: 1 gallon organic apple juice 1 lb organic cane sugar 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient 1/2 packet EC-1118 yeast I plan on adding another 1/4 tsp of...
