Post by ni9e » Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:35 pm

I have made a 4ltr TC in a demijohn last Thursday evening just been to check it now and its still bubbling away at same rate it was Saturday morning basicly its going like a steam train do I have to wait till the bubbles stop before I bottle coz the rate its going I don't think it will stop lol.
Its my first attempt at a TC so I have no idea.

I always give mine two weeks or when it starts to clear, although the bubbles would have dropped down dramatically, how many are you getting a minute?

Its bubbling 40-60 times a min and the froth on the top has calmed down and its still very cloudy.

Yeah, you need to wait until that has calmed down a lot, give it another week odd.
