Apologies I just started reading the common terms thread and got the answers to other names and how long the tablets last, I think anyway. K-meta and 24 hours.

Hi Folks I have personally stuffed up approximately 90 litres of wine so far and I'm determined to get a better understanding of the process for the future. I am reading as much as I have time to but I keep reading info which is contradictory. I'm hoping the folks on here will share their hard...

Hopefully problem solved found a place down south, Winequip which stocks Fermaid A (which they tell me takes the place of energiser and nutrient) and also EC1118 yeast.

Not just me then?

6 Gallons Skeeter Pee clearing. 3365 + 6 = 3371

And, oh so, warranted. The mistakes I've made................

My lord, I need this place so badly. Thanks for taking me on board.
