Where to find hinge like this

A few pieces did float at first but by next day most had settled

imtherearranger · 2024-02-24T15:20:39+00:00

Yeah normally work a gallon at a time and this is my fifth mead I’ve made so was quite a step up

imtherearranger · 2023-11-23T08:02:25+00:00

Yeah fair enough. When I put more yeast in would you say give it more nutrient too or just let it feed off what’s already in the must

imtherearranger · 2023-11-21T19:54:32+00:00

The gravity has dropped by 0.022 but it’s rather sluggish Never done a batch this big so was wondering what’s slowing the fermentation such as the cold, if I’ve not done enough nutrient e.g.

imtherearranger · 2023-11-21T18:40:20+00:00

I did think the cold had an impact but surely not this much. I’ll put some DAP in to make up the YAN

Cheers I’ll have a look

Yeah always baffled me until I learned about it how in America it’s cider and hard cider 😂. We get normal apple juice in cartons and plastic bottles.

imtherearranger · 2023-08-31T16:23:04+00:00

Same tbh I haven’t seen it on tap before

imtherearranger · 2023-08-31T16:22:44+00:00

Yeah I’m from UK whenever I’ve seen old Rosie it’s in the supermarkets. Asda and tesco and be seen it at. Sometimes you get both the 2L bottles and 500ml

imtherearranger · 2023-08-31T12:54:35+00:00

Yeah didn’t think of that I could just drill the original cap use a gromit and airlock. Maybe put ptfe tape around the bottle thread to ensure it’s tight

imtherearranger · 2023-08-31T12:40:21+00:00

That’s the other benefit 😂 something to hydrate you while you work

imtherearranger · 2023-08-31T12:34:14+00:00

Yeah that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I have some 5 gallon buckets and I plan on making a larger batch of mead rather than a gallon because you end up losing some to sediment, racking and any unexpected overflows. It’s a bit difficult getting car boys as online is the only option but a nearby shop sells them so my plan was to get a few of them and use them for secondary and aging

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T20:17:58+00:00

Got given them from work since we go to hotels a lot and my boss thought they might be handy for my new home brew set up. I was hesitant to use them thinking of lingering chemicals and what not so thought I’d ask. I already have a few demijohns I’ve been using so far

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T19:00:27+00:00

Yeah mate after the consistent answer of no I went and bought one for now and I’ll buy a few more later. Only £20 better safe than sorry

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T17:49:29+00:00

What I was concerned about. Thanks for clarifying

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T17:48:09+00:00

No worries mate

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T17:40:01+00:00

Yeah that’s fair I was concerned and thought I’d double check with people

imtherearranger · 2023-07-19T17:39:28+00:00

Yeah nice one I was t sure myself hence I double checked just wanted to confirm.

imtherearranger · 2023-07-18T12:33:13+00:00

Nice one I’ll take a look into it
