Does it hurt to sanitize the bottles with kmeta if you drain them really good. I know kmeta is generally a no no for beer.

La Bodega port style wine at the moment, I usually end up with one of my bourbons.

A bubbling airlock does not mean it is still fermenting, you need to check the SG.

I agree, I wasn't suggesting he go to 1.010, just telling him how to get there.

Ok so you're wanting to raise the SG by 20 points, based on Julie's answer 5 cups would get your 5 gallons at 990 up to 1.008. It would take you 5.55 cups to get to 1.010. Calculated by 20/18 times 5.

Not sure what you're asking, if you know the current SG and what SG you want to get to you can approximate it.

I agree, I usually use it to check the pH in the beginning and that's it. I am going to try to do better this year. Another New Year's resolution. It is a lot of money just to check the pH when it will do so much more.

Don't know if it would stop a fermentation from starting but that sounds like an awful lot of kmeta.

Ok so your ABV is (1130-1018 )+(1035-1022)=125x.131 or 16.38%. That is rather high, EC1118 peaks out at about 18%. You might be able to restart it using EC1118 and Jack Keller's method. What I would do, and this is just me, is add the fpac slowly until I got to the taste level I was looking...

What was the beginning SG?

This is Jack Keller's method of starting a stuck fermentation if you have not already exceeded your alcohol level by chapitalization. Stuck Fermentation: A stuck fermentation is one that has started and then stopped prematurely. This is usually caused by a lack of nutrients or acid, but not...

First of all, welcome to the group. It appears you have been here reading for a while and just now posting, great. Just because I am anal about it, the word is chapitalization not capitalization, don't forget the "h". Are you saying you added additional sugar to chapitalize the batch? If so...

Yeah I was thinking satellite might be the only option but I have never priced it.

Welcome to the forum, Internet is available it's just a decision of how much you are willing to pay. I think the Internet offered by the satellite TV companies is available pretty much anywhere

Looks very sturdy and great detail work. Obviously it is more of an ornamental wine rack than a cellar storage rack.

I like it.

Got you, I am just starting my first batch of this

Maybe it is just the picture but this doesn't look anywhere near clear to me, I didn't look back to see but how old is this batch.

Elijah Craig 12year. It is not a high priced Bourbon but excellent just the same.
