You obviously know your shit but I do feel I need to correct you on this one :winkwink:

The sugar will not eat the risidual yeast. It's exactly the other way around.
The yeast will eat the sugar (yeast + sugar = alcohol+CO2).

The yeast will remain afterwards and can be revitalised.

Indeed. I can't stretch this enough. Follow the instructions closely and document thouroughly.

I always felt that water was one of the key ingrediants. If your tap water is not fucking perfect, just like for coffee. It often is better to use filtered or even purchased water.

Some really great tips in this thread :thumbsup

As for water, I'm definately going to be using bottled/minerial water to much sure. But I could always test out the tap water to see if it would be suitable first.

Can't wait to get started :)

Pretty sure if your tap isnt funky tasting. Just using something like a Britta filter would be fine and cheaper.

Yeah that could work, the one that goes over the tap might be a good idea just to make sure.

I'm pretty sure it's decent water but it's best to make sure. Mineral water might give it a purer taste I would guess aswell.

I made Pruno from Pineapples once. It came out pretty decent.

Ok went down the brew-it store today.

I'm cheating on my first batch, got a brewers wort from a micro brewery to try it out. 10-20 days of fermentation, then needs to rest in the bottles for 4-8 weeks (should be ready around xmas)

And a wine kit. Plus some bottles etc, and some sanitizer.

Should (if I get time) be setting everything up today :)

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 03:35 PM.
