To ME??? just from physics and chemistry training in HS and university? I wanna remember that the size of a naturally occuring surface bubble is a thing of the surface tension, atmospheric pressure, and density of the liquid, and the speed of the gas coming back out of solution.

Having bought real equipment, I decided to not risk it, and make a 6+ gallon ferment of the apple wine/cider stuff, and this time "firmly resolve" to rack to the carboy and settle it up some, unlike last time we drank the ferment and called it a success, LMAO SO, I need to have SOME fun......
