  • Sulphiting caravans

    Does anyone have a recipe? I am using 10ml pot met in 5 litres. Didn't think the citric acid would be necessary.

            You're OK until you hit 1.020 - then put the must into DJs/fermenters/buckets with an air lock!

            ;O)

              Personally I would sanitise a caravan with about 10 litres of petrol and a box of matches.

              This method has the added benefit of removing one of the cursed things from the roads

                    Thanks everyone - I have really enjoyed the responses.
                    Now for the boring bit. When you put your caravan to bed for the winter, you drain the water off to stop it freezing. Modern vans have internal tanks, three pumps, showers and god know how many little places for water to collect in and go nasty.

                    Not the sort of stuff you want to be drinking or even washing in. Seasoned campers suggest 'never drink the water from the tap' for this reason.


                    So i used line cleaner first (caustic). RInsed with citric acid (to clear the caustic) and finally for my first 'fill' of the season i used a pot met solution 10ml to 5 litres of water. Worked a treat.

                    Next step to pipe the red wine up.......hmm. theres a thought!
