Bump :)

Doing a project in Microbiology, we have two set-ups, aerobic and anaerobic. We are calculating alcohol using specific gravity, does this still apply for the aerobic set up as not all of the yeast will be metabolizing the sugar into ethanol. Basically I'm asking would the same equation...

What strain of wild yeast do you think it is?

Thanks for your time to post that, and it is exactly what I need and yu have saved me alot of work, I thank you! Do you know where I could find that infomation so I can reference it?...I don't think the University would allow me to reference homebrewtalk! :mug:

Thanks for the replies and posts guys. I'm doing n investigation at uni using different sugars, and the hydrometer is the only apparatus we have access to.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Can someone explain how to use these properly. I want to know how to relate the figures to alcohol content. Thanks Jungle

Okay, I kind of understand what you are saying, does this mean that yeast will not convert any of the creatine at all?

Haha thanks for the replies guys, the only reason I ask is that creatine plays a role in humans during anaerobic respiration. I may be wrong here, in most metabolic processes ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced. Creatine supplementation is proven to increase the rate of ATP production in...

Will the introduction of creatine have an effect on the fermentation of yeast?

I havent used any chems, its basically just apple juice and yeast inside a DJ. Mixed 1L of juice with yeast...left for one day Added the rest of the Juice (4L) and added nutrient (boiled and mashed sultanas, strained) Tested 8 days later, tastes ok, just smells a bit funky!

Just doing my first batch of turbo cider. It smells quite cheesy, is this normal? I tried some and it tasted okay.

I gave up smoking 3 years ago by getting into the gym and getting really fit, i'm now addicted to training and healthy eating. You need to find a hobby that you can give alot of attention to to take your mind off it. Also get rid of anything smoking related in your house.

That took me a while to clock on then!...Elementary:mug:

Cheers for the replies guys!...means alot :) No news about the bike...as expected, but on the plus side its nice to see my cider fermenting well!!

OK, so I have never brewed before. I woke up this morning all excited to go out and buy some equipment to brew some cider...only to find that my bike has been STOLEN from my house....arggghh After spending most of the day trying to get it back, which obviously is never going to work, I...

Thanks for the link, I'm starting off with making "turbo cider" just to get my head round the fermentation process, I've got limited equipment, so hopefully it all goes well, I'll do my best not to rush it!

No, I've not been to the beer festival, I'm sure I will one day though. The one I really want to go to is the one in Germany...that's the biggun!

Hey everyone, Me and my housemate have decided to try and brew our own cider (between studies). We're going out tommorow to get some basic equipment to get started, not sure at all what we're doing! No doubt I will want to use some of the expertise from you guys :)
