EC-1118 Questions
Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:37 pm
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
) 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.
