    What chemistry and campden tablets

    Hi, thanks for this. Campden tablets can be either sodium or potassium metabisulfite and in this case I have sodium metabisulfite. Unfortunately the packaging doesn't give any information on how much sodium there is per tablet or per gram or whatever. Still, good to hear I don't have to worry...

    What chemistry and campden tablets

    I've been using a quarter of a Campden tablet (sodium metabisulfite) to remove chlorate from my brewing water. How should I adjust my water chemistry calculations for this compound? Does it affect pH? How much sodium per tablet? Do I need to worry about the sulfite from a water chem point of view?

    Left a bunch of sanitizer in fermenter

    The other worry with some sanitizers like VWP is that even fairly small amounts can inhibit yeast growth or even stress the yeast out producing off flavours. I think the type you've used is ok although I personally have never used it.

    Hello from West Yorks!

    Sounds like something worth a try. I always find the offcumdens attempting to pronounce 'Keighley' pretty hilarious when I stop for Timmy Taylors! At least you know where you are with plain old Bratfud.

    Hello from West Yorks!

    Hi Matey, I'm in Bradford so not to far from 'The Hudd'. I've not managed to make it on the Rail Ale Trail. I think it goes to Batley though?

    Tips for long aging beer?

    Hi All, I just cracked open a Wee Heavy I've had in the cellar for around 3 and a half years and it was pretty interesting! Malty, complex and a little pleasant savoury character to it. Got me to thinking I'd like to embark on making some more strong beers to age. Perhaps batches to age over...

    Hello from West Yorks!

    Hi All, I've been brewing for a few years with various hits and misses. I'm particularly keen on brewing malt forward Scottish ales but also regularly make other British styles and I've experimented with lager a couple of times. I brew all grain. Good to meet yous all :mug:
