I am still learning and I ordered some things for my new batch. Never used
any of this stuff before. Always used things around the house and grocery store before. This time, I used: Lalvin 71b Yeast: by LALLEMAND N21A Yeast Nutrient DAP 5 Gallons Frozen Concentrate (Welch's) mix I followed all the items instructions. I did a yeast prestarter and it was a good one. The most violent foaming action I have ever seen. It smells best of all I have done. I did all this mix at around 1130 am April 18. By the afternoon it had a 2" layer of foam on the top. By 5 pm on the 19th the layer was about 1/2". SG at start was 1.062 at 75 degrees. SG this morning (the 20th) was-I can't see the hydrometer end, less than .990. A very thin layer of foam at 12 noon on the 20th when SG was less than .990. I always want more kick so I added 3 - 8 oz. cups of sugar. Did I screw it up? It has still a very slow bubbling and I like it very dry. Thanks, Ron |
