If i do make 5 gallons instead of 6, how does this effect the hydrometer reading?

your wine will be stronger, you may see an SG of .96 or less and end up with a stronger alcohol contest. per volume. You are fermenting more concentrate in less water. About 18% less. You may see 16% or higher alcohol content.

I have a batch going now that will be ready in a few days. Ill tell you the reading then. I'd imagine its a lower number/more alcohol since the eater content is lower but ill verify.

Your hydrometer reading will be a little higher when starting the kit. (etc. directions for a Barolo say it should start out around 1.080 and 1.090 and ours started out as 1.104) Throughout the process though, your readings should level out and ours always fall somewhere in-between what the directions say. Just make sure you're not off a drastic amount. The starting hydrometer reading is off because of the lessened amount of water (making 5 gal. instead of 6) We have made many of these kits and always make them to 5 gal. All of them have been very good with high alcohol content. Some of them we add a little oak in the primary fermentation and some we didn't add any oak. Both ways are yummy, just depends on the kind of taste you want in the end. Hope this info helps.

You only have 6 gallons and that will give you enought for maybe 9 gallons for water hot enought for a bath and then you will have to wait for the water to heat in the water heater. So,I would say know to your question.

I have two pannels for 5,000 gallons, and it is not that warm, you should use around 6 pannels

I tested it with the meter and saw very little in difference in the number. I took it out and replaced it with a zero water pitcher. Big difference. I'm sold on zero water. By the way the reading was 62 with the brondell from 68. Marietta Water

Yes. Changing tubing size will have no effect on tank pressure. At these low pressures and flow rates involved, it will also have no significant effect of flow.

We have the 5L and don't have a problem with the number of gallons per minute that it produces. I think the only difference is the 10L pumps out 2.5 gpm but I could be wrong. Hope this helps. We use it for an outdoor shower at our farm and love it!

That is correct as your last stage adds minerals to your water and would be read by the meter I have several of these I use them for two seperate systems drinking water & salt water aquarium if I want to see if my system needs maintnace I just push the button and read it make sure that the water is flowing thru the system it will not read water that is standing still correctly

The instructions on the Amazon page tell you how much to use per liter; do a little math to figure out what you need for 5 gallons.Jim

If you want to do more than five gallons you would need to refill the container. Our continuous flow does allow you to do as many gallons as you would like without getting up the refill the container.

The size is simply matching its number. But they don't actually reccomend changing them ever. Their purpose is to provide bio-continuity to your tank. So water changes etc quickly return to balance. If you do change, do so one at a time and wait a week or so before changing the 2nd.

I suppose it will measure the water sample but not speciffically the mix. Just the soil, I dont think it works.

No markings. 5 gallons comes up right beneath the thermometer. About a quarter inch below. So 6-6.5 gallons is a little above it. It's a great buy though. Never had any problems with this. It's about 25lbs in its own right. They give you 2 extra washers to help out with changing parts-at least that's what came in my box anyways. I will use this for many years.

No it just make the 6 gallons the difference is that this is the natural juice wheras the 17.5 is concentrated and you have to ad water to make up the 6 gallons

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

It depends on what the reading of your water is now. My water without reads 5.75 and it is 8.0 with the filter. It should be the last filter your water goes through.

I'm assuming that it is dependent on the volume of water that passes through the filter. I haven't actually tested it.

Depends on whether you choose to make 5 or 6 gallons. I chose 6 which made 30-750ml bottles.
