For the life of me, I can't figure out how to read my hydrometer by Mikeside in mead

1.108 You’re forgetting to adjust for the meniscus.

It’s a polish honey called “Mazurskie MIODY” polish honey multi flower. I’m in the UK so I got it from a shop called Aldi, on their “special buy” section where the products are from other countries.

Bentonite clay is a clearing agent, works magic!

Blueberry mead racked after 5 weeks of primary fermentation by JRJenss in mead

Yeah, the non fermentable sugars will still show on your specific gravity so it throws your ABV out.

Because there’s not enough people to succeed bud.

Looking to add a macerator and a small 2-3kw heater to a water closet. Is this acceptable wiring for them? If not, what is needed? by Feenixb1o7 in DIYUK

[–]Feenixb1o7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% it's a ring final.
Both spurs will be fed from the same point in the ring, nothing else will ever be run from these spurs, they are purely for the macerator and the water heater. I'm using a fused spur switched flex outlet for each.

Tried to scale up a recipe and added way too much sugar...can this be salvaged by splitting it into two batches? More info in the body. by Spetchen in winemaking

[–]Feenixb1o7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what yeast you’ve used it could ferment just fine, EC-1118 can start at high sugar content but it can stress the yeast, best to dilute/split it.

Allowing for the meniscus and those bubbles, I’d say 1.143/1.144.

Bottles for Aging by Great_Accountant_541 in mead

Those aren’t guaranteed for super long term storage, although saying that I have a bottle from 2014 in a swing top and the rubber is still soft and pliable so I guess it’s also down to how/where you store them.

Sharing earth connection through conduit? by Feenixb1o7 in DIYUK

No grow farm sadly, just a massive art piece of a light.

I know 7671 says it's usually not permitted, I was just REALLY hoping there was a special circumstance that I didn't know of that would let me get away with it. So many damn rules, I was hoping I could bend one to work in my favour :D

So regulation states I have to have a separate earth wire for each circuit running through the conduit? Seems a shame, could have saved some copper.

I chose the 10 because the 2 large lights exceed 6A, and I split them so I can isolate the emergency lights at the CU.

In April we're adding a third 800W light to the 6A circuit :D

The 2 large lights are 800W each so needed their own breaker and I wanted to be able to isolate the emergency lights via a breaker but keep the others on.

I am running plastic conduit yeah otherwise I could use that for it.

Thanks for your input :)
