Wow. awesome, It's in a quart jar so not much investment if it goes south. When I stop seeing bubbles, I will pull a taste and let you know thanks for the info!

Hello all, I started getting into all the good things that Ginger, Garlic & Honey does for the body, but thats another story. So I started a Ginger Honey infusion for tea because I seen it in the grocery story but didn't like all those additives they put in there. I sliced a bunch of ginger...

Got a question for the group, I started the FW Cab on June 1st. It's been sitting under an airlock bucket for 2 weeks now. From the sound of the sloshing, it seems the skin bags might have fallen but not sure, Haven't opened it since. I'm leaving out on vacation on July 1st and won't get back...

Understood, I will leave the Firm-O out on the next on. So far this kit is best best one I've seen. Looking forward to the 6mo tasting but will prolly leave it in the carboy for about a year.

Well as detailed as the handbook is that came with this kit, I still managed to miss a step. Somehow when I got to the point of activating the yeast, I thought it was very strange to just let it soak in water for 18 hrs before putting it in the juice. Did it anyway, yeast & water. The next day I...

one other question, I normally use my filtered house water for my kits. Recently I have installed a water softener. So now I'm thinking about buying either distilled or spring water by the gal. which is best?

just curious, I have never used any bags for the skins, why not just let them free float?

yes, everything was the same. I treated it just like normal bread yeast. No issues, dough way doubled in size.

Well, 100% success!!! Don't need bread yeast anymore for awhile now. EC-1118 rocks for bread yeast. Super fluffy and lots of bubbles in the rise. Finally found a use for all those extra packets from those kits.

Cool! I be giving it a go making pizza and focaccia tonight. we'll see how it goes. so far so good

I have several EC-1118 packets I have collected from all these kits. Can they be used for bread yeast substitute? It seems all the local grocery stores are stocked out of Fleshman's bread yeast.

Perfect! I will give it a go this weekend. Thanks

Hello all, I have a RJS Cru Select Cab that's been sitting in a 5 gal carboy for a year now. I have been hitting it with 1/4 tsp of kmeta every 3 months. On my last drop about a month ago, I noticed a strong smell coming from it. It didn't concern me at the time, but today its been a full year...

Perfect information!

How long can I leave oak cubes in the carboy? Any harm with leaving them in there for 6 months or 1yr? I've got some bottles that's it's been in there that long...
