When I bought the kit I was handed a nice new bottle of chitosan, as they had clearly had problems with the stuff in the kits.\u00a0 Sure enough, when I opened the box, the “chitosan” inside was mouldy.\u00a0 The kit included tartaric acid, bentosil must conditioner and grape skin tannin, but they just went in one after the other as per the instructions.\u00a0 The only other thing to note is that after my assiduous 5 minutes of stirring I got an OG of 1080, which was lower than the lowest reading that they suggest in the instructions (1090-1082).\u00a0 I don’t think I had too much water either.<\/p>\n\n
