Started 4 more ferments: - 1500ml apple cider with sugar added (estimated ABV 8%) - 1500ml honey/water (estimated ABV 8%) 3 hours in, balloons are beginning to inflate . I didn't add any yeast nutrient but I think it should be fine. |

Started 3 ferments today: - 1500ml apple cider - 250g honey, fill bottle with water - 210g honey, 500ml cider, fill bottle with water I didn't add any kind of yeast nutrients so I wonder if the honey-alone drink will be able to ferment. All the drinks will end up in the 6-8% range so I feel they should be able to ferment fine without extra help... |

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... |
