Trid -now, for a place to keep it Always the thick one I have to ask what does NSF mean? Is it something to do with food grade? Yes, it used to stand for National Sanitary Foundation, they are sort of like UL in the States, CSA in Canada and CE in Europe but they focus on public health more so than those other organizations. In North America you will see a circle with NSF on any good plumbing hardware for example; if it's not marked, I wouldn't use it. I think they are a spin off of U of Michigan. They are very heavily into the food and water safety business. And you know you are a winemaker when you knowingly overfill a fermenter, knowing full well the consequences - and pay for your sin the next day with several hours of cleanup... Joe

Isn't that the way kits work. I thought the reduction was from racking.

When...
You are watching an 'end of the world' style disaster movie and all you can think is "what a waste of wine..." or you grimace in horror imagining millions of elderberries going to waste...
