Default slow fermentation question...more info likely people would want


Aye Rick, no preservatives, I was clued to that caveat before I got
started. Also, the primary fermentation was vigorous. I assume (but
only an assumption of a learner) that if any preservative was going to
inhibit fermentation it would be likely to inhibit it in the primary as
much if not more so than in the secondary?
