It's been ~4 days but the tomato/bran wash (4kg) is essentially done fermenting, with a SG of 0, so it's roughly 18L of 13% ABV. That is pretty magnificent from < $5 EUR worth of sugar! I'm going to give it another few days to finish fermenting and clearing before I run it, but that bran is no joke. |

I started a 20L ferment tonight of a new recipe In the boiler: * 100g of homemade tomato paste * 100g of old bran * 8g of old yeast * 30ml end of old bottle of wine (mostly sludge) * 4kg sugar After cooling: * 50g baker's yeast * pinch DAP * pinch epsom salts just finished cooking this up. Never tried using bran as a nutrient before so I'm curious how it turns out. It should finish around 12% ABV or so, fingers crossed! I wonder how bran flavor will compare with tomato flavor... |
