Bump a dee bump dump doo. Anyone solve the threaded 6.5 screw top puzzle. I had one.... Lost it. Any info would be appreciated

Thanks guys

Mixed enough for 6g into 1g and is sitting in my glass bottles prior to bottling later today. Should I be rinsing these after dumping the starsan? I ask as I understand starsan is a ph based sanitizer and I don't want to tweak the beer that's going in! Thanks in advance to anyone who has some...

Thanks Guys! Went with ec-1118. Good times ahead. :ban::ban::ban:

Hi guys, Is it alright to use S04 to make a concord grape wine? I'm very new to brewing/winemaking and from what I understand different yeasts die off at different alcohol levels. Will S04 take the juice far enough or will it die off and leave an insane amount of residual sugar? If S04 isnt...

I can't express my appreciation enough for the replies and well explained answers.... Thanks guys! Can MLF cause boomers though? So if I bottle something which SG indicates is ok buts it undergoing MLF, would that not cause a problem. Reason I didn't add sulphite is that I planned to try...

Hahaha. Love the bueller reference!

Thanks for the reply! Does SG indicate progress of MLF if that is indeed what is causing the additional bubbling? I thought SG was a measure of sugar, not Malic acid content. Are you thinking maybe MLF is not the what I'm seeing?

hey guys. had started a thread regarding these batches and am looking for some further advice. 4 batches started Dec 1st. Moved to secondary 3 weeks later. All slowed down to almost a halt and then started back up. Consensus said MLF was the cause. It's now March 1st and here's an update...

Hahahaha!! That's awesome...thx!!:ban:

Such a cool read!! Being incredibly new to brewing in general the science behind it is the part that fascinates me the most. And especially when results aren't expected... Thanks for sharing that! :mug::mug:

I'd commented on this in another thread.... But after I transferred to secondary 3 of the 4 batches cleared quick,dropped minimal sediment and seemed fairly dormant shortly after. Then a short while later those same 3 started bubbling pretty good with mild haze. Wonder if that's MLF... The 4th...

Thanks guys. All of this information is incredibly helpful. I believe MLF is malolactic fermentation which I believe ferments Malic acid to lactic.... I think. I've been waiting for a "Wild MLF" for a long time. :):):)

So if I'm already in secondary and haven't added the campden yet but have no plans to move to tertiary due to minimal lees would I consider campden or let it be? I have a inch TOPS of headspace..... Wayyyy up the neck.

Thanks Gavin. Appreciate the detailed explanation.
