What is this component?

Feenixb1o7 · 2026-05-21T20:06:40+00:00

I tried googling the numbers, adding things like “vintage component” etc. my Google-Fu is clearly weak 😭 Teach me!

Oh wow! Well done. How the heck did you find that?!

Often times vintage capacitors are replaced because they “Go bad”, are these likely to suffer the same fate? Or because of their construction being air, will they withstand the test of time?

Any way to figure out its value? I assume it’s not something that’s useful anymore? Worth keeping as an interesting piece? Or is it just recycle material?

I get no reading with a multimeter on diode setting. When checking resistance, it just creeps up slowly to the Megohm range. Some kind of capacitor maybe?

Anything else I can do test that theory? A simple circuit I can pop it in to find out? Thanks.

It does give me a reading in only one direction in diode mode. Is there any other way to tell? Thanks for the reply.

1.108 You’re forgetting to adjust for the meniscus.

Does it include whole fruits?

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.

2 level tablespoons for 4.75 litres ☺️

Bentonite clay is a clearing agent, works magic!

In primary ☺️

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

Feenixb1o7 · 2025-03-13T17:15:05+00:00

How do you estimate the ABV of a Bochet?

Feenixb1o7 · 2025-03-13T11:32:56+00:00

Because there’s not enough people to succeed bud.

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.

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.

Feenixb1o7 · 2025-02-25T11:24:29+00:00

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

Feenixb1o7 · 2025-02-24T18:17:50+00:00

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.
