I did not taste it coming from the still. I will try to collect it in 4 oz groupings the next time to split it up better. I think i need to get a bigger still 🙁

[Sexfreak]

117 was the highest, averaged out to around 92

[Sexfreak]

sounds like a good plan. approx how many oz’s should i make cuts at to separate everything? first batch was a quart, then I tried half pints. smaller then half pints?
thanks again

[Sexfreak]

I already ran it. I didnt really taste it before hand. I ran it as slow as I could. I have a 1 gallon clawhammer kit. I used 2 copper pads in the column. I took 3/4 oz off at the beginning and then 3 half pints and a 1/4 pint for the last.

so I made my strawberry mash and I had a friend taste it and he thought that it should be smoother. I have to admit it was rough. kind of rough like el toro rough but better flavor. any suggestions on how I could get it to be a little smoother on the next go around.

thanks

is it possible to go over 212? seeing as that is when water boils?

[Sexfreak]

nope not yet. I’ll start googling what other people have and try to make something out of copper. I’ll run the idea by you first see what you think

[Sexfreak]

I found a stainless steel carbon filter but it is pricey. I was thinking that I could make 1 out of copper for a lot less. would copper work or would it affect the taste?

[Sexfreak]

yeah I added some more yeast and I chopped up some more raisins for it. the brix level is dropping and should be ready in another week or 2 🙂

[Sexfreak]

would DADY work for what Im trying to do 🙂 or is there a better yeast

[Sexfreak]

I usually do keep it in a dark place. I just didnt want a mess all over.

so I made my mash and put my bubbler on the carboy, I have a slight problem with the mash bubbling up through the bubbler. I have strawberry mash all over my kitchen 🙁 how long should it stay frothy for when fermenting? Ill attach a pick tonight

[Sexfreak]

yes it looks very close to that. I used bread yeast and started it with sugar and such just like with my honey batch. should I add more yeast to it? or a different type?

[Sexfreak]

If i’m reading the hydrometer correctly it looks like it is at 1.046 it is on the beer starting area on the hydrometer. The brix is 13.6% roughly. it has stopped bubbling for about a week now. I also tried to check the proof of it with a beer/wine meter and it didnt even register.
