I just bought it from label peelers this is the first time I've used it just bottled some concord and noticed that there was a crease in the cork. I used the noma VHN #8 corks, and a brand new Italian floor corker.
Yeah i was getting antsy. I also buy yeast by the ten and keep it in the fridge. Never have had it take longer then an hour or two at most. I just ordered this yeast so it should be fresh. Was starting to think I was going to have to dump it.
Well it took almost two days to start but now it's down to 1.016 from 1.09 and it's still chugging along. Also looks like I need a new straining bag. Where is a good place to get a new one that's durable for all the squeezing it has to indure.
I just started a 6 gallon batch of dragons blood put in some k-meta and waited 24 hours and pitched my yeast its been a day and haven't seen any activity.
