Hi All
First batch. Started with home pressed apple juice. Moved it from primary fermentation to a glass jug when SG was about 1.02. Then moved it to another glass jug with it hit about 0.99. Is clearing nicely. Book we are following says to wait about 2 months, then rack again to continue clearing. Any benefit/detriment to doing it sooner? It seemed to have a bit of yeasty smell when we moved it, and am getting a nice coating of dead beasties on the bottom. So in my inexperienced line of thinking; it would seem to me to rack sooner than 2 months to get it away from the yeasties. What say you experienced folk? Thanks Mark |
