Depends on where in Richmond. My wife's family lives on the East end and they have a well so water quality isn't that great but it tastes fine to me. I have no idea about the city water.

It also helps a little to chill your bottles overnight before you fill them.

Putting together ingredients to do this brew but I am having trouble sourcing the WLP500 yeast locally and don't want to risk having it shipped and getting useless yeast. I google'd and didn't come up with any good equivalences to the WLP500, anyone have any suggestions? I looked at a belgian...

How much is shipping on the elephant drawing?

Looks like 1lb of candi sugar is 1.032 so add that to 5 gallons and you'll add .0064 to your gravity reading putting you in the 1.054 to 1.059 range.

Start by figuring out what yeast you used first and what it's capabilities are. Was your starting gravity actual measured at 1.045 or is that just what the kit said? Did you do your temperature adjustments?

You are kidding right?

I split a 55 gallon plastic barrel in half and did my plants in there last year and it worked fine. From my reading it'll be fine for a year or two but they will quickly outgrow it. As for the 15 gallon bins you might consider doing two of them and having one plant in each.

That is a smoking deal! I would take it off your hands in a heartbeat if I was close. Good luck with the sale!

Repitching the same yeast probably won't help any. When you added the additional DME soup the airlock started bubbling again so that tells me that your yeast is working fine but it can't get below 1.020 for some reason. Have you looked at the specs for the yeast you are using?

I've done that kit and in my experience most of the wine expert kits end up too sweet and the abv is pretty low. Typically I'll add in an extra 2-3 pounds of sugar which takes the abv to around 9% and drys the final product out a little bit.

Sale pending at the moment I will let you guys know if it falls through.

I just looked the kegs over while I took the pic and they are in good condition, I'd grade them as A kegs. One keg is clean inside and the other has some old dry soda crust inside. I also found another liquid post to toss in with the other connectors. I have a couple of PM's and posts of...
