chimera Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 if I make up a 200L brew of ASW, how long can I keep it for? i assume if I keep it aerated I could keep it indefinately? i want to make up a 100 litre brew and keep it in a barrel for emergencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 your using nsw right?? i dont see any problem keeping it for a long time as you use ro/di. just keep it in a dark cool dry place. and air tight container. personally i use salt mix straight away after ive mixed it.

petplanet Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 You could keep it forever, but you could do the same with NSW. I would not use ASW stright away. I needs time for the salt to disolve fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 ASW needs a day or two to "age", so shouldn't be used straight away. But it should store for a long time, It obviously doesn't have all the crap that NSW has in it. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 but it also misses out on alot of the goodies that NSW DOES have in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
