I threw away the first 200 ml of my run with 5 gallon. I was told 1/3 of a qt and that’s like 150 ml or something so I just go 200ml
I’m going to start going 2lbs of sugar to 1 gallon of water and gonna get a juicer and put apples in the mash and then squeeze the juice and alcohol out of them.
I have a really good quick way to make apple pie, his next time I’m going to make a apple pie with a hint of CarmelIdk what pbw is but I use one step or something, but I made a run and for the first one I think it was a success. I got a total of 6qt after I threw my first 200 ml away (150 ml is 1/3 pint) and I got 120,110,90,70,50 and it was late so I haven’t checked my 6th one, I took the first 3 and added them with a little left of the 90 and ended up with 110 and added a resipe a buddy of mine gave me to make it into Apple pie since sugar shine don’t taste very good and it’s not bad a little stout. But with a Calc I found on the web it says adding 1 cup of water to 2 1/2 cups of 110 shine would put you at 78 proof
Still haven’t ran it had some things come up and wasn’t able to get a early start
I checked it yesterday and finally got down to 1.010 and I plan to run it tm. Should I boil a gallon of white vinegar to clean it out and if so do I need to rinse it out with water or the water with the sanitizer before I run it, so it don’t taste like vinigar.
There is a little pressure on the air lock but no bubbles but when I took the lid off I could still hear the bubbling inside if I listen closely
I just checked it before I read this but I’m down to 1.029
I took another reading 2 days ago and it said its now at 1.037. At what number should I run it?
If it stops activity in the air lock just giving it a shake to get it going common?
I let it set another day and still wasn’t doing anything, so I got some frenchmans or what ever bread yeast activated it and put it in (2 packs worth) and was getting some movement the next day, well that lasted 2 days and went to nothing so I gave it a little shake and it started back bubbling.
Yea yesterday I took 2 cups put some sugar and water at 75 deg and let it set for 20 min or so a rise about 1 in then added both cups to the mix, and it sets in the corner of the kitchen with no sunlight at 70 deg so it could be plus or minus a couple
The starting the other day was 1.060 and now it’s 1.062…..
Took a reading and got 17 on the balling with bubbles spun it a few time bobbed it a little spun it again and it said 16 before I put the yeast in it the other day it said 15
Yes, the one for beer and wine?
Ok I’m gonna try and fix my hot plate but once again the mash is not having any movement in the air lock…
