Glen,
Thanks for all of the information, I appreciate it. The SO2
tester is in the plans as well but no one seems to sell one
in Ottawa. Is this the item:

As I mentioned before I tried splashing. I've already bought
the lowest end kit I could find to try doubling up but thought
I might do the H2O2 method prior to it. I think what I will
try over the holidays is another splash racking and a light
H2O2. If that does not work I will double up.

Did you switch to EC-1118 or a comparable yeast when you had
your problem?
