The wife doesn't think keeping the house at 75 degrees is a good idea so I ordered a brew belt. Should be here tomorrow.
I bought 2 packs of EC1118 yeast. I'm going to follow Lons recipe to a T until it gets to the slurry part since I don't have any.
Should I get the yeast going with some sugar and water at the same time I start making the must? Give both about 24 hours and then dump the yeast (that hopefully is active) into the must?
After it ferments dry I plan to sweeten with Welchs Strawberry Breeze Concentrate. I bought 4 cans. I'll do some taste testing to see what I like but do you experienced pee'ers also add sugar? I bought some blueberry pomegranate concentrate today also. Once I rack the strawberry breeze I will start the next batch. I'm taking your guys and gals advice and I'm going to keep a steady supply on hand to keep everyone happy.
