EC-1118 Questions

Post by NewGuy »

Hey all,
Have been using turbos, but a think it's time to grow up and use the good stuff, but a few questions, I found some info on using 1118, but still have confusion.

1) I found Lalvin EC-1118 in 5gm packages (bout the size of a condom wrapper :wink: ) and it says on the bottom to refrigerate them, but my local shopkeep just keeps them on the shelf at room temp. Is this OK or should I be looking for a new place?

2) I have been reading about nutrients........ DAP, or tomato paste, or both; citric acid for city water how bout well water with no chlorine; epsom salts? Overwhelmed. I'm on a rum kick right now, so with a molasses wash, would just tomato paste be sufficient? There is alot of info around, but some contradicts others, help please.

Thanks guys.
