Well I had to dip my toe in the skeeter pee.
I tried to follow the recipe as best I could, I was at 1.06 when I was done mixing and adding ingredients. I opted to just go for a little less alcohol than add more sugar.
It took a while to get it going, mostly because I think I was only about 65 degrees. But beating it like a red headed stepchild every day it finally started working. At a little below 1.05 I added some more nutrients and enegizer as called for.
I racked it to a clean carboy at 1.03 and added an air lock since I wasnt comfortable with a towel over the top. Besides it help me see things are still working. I checked it last night and I am down to 1.01. Kmeta, sorbate and sparkloid are all new to me, so after I get below 1.0 I will be in unfamiliar territory adding more stuff.
It smells good, and I suspect will be tasty. Hoping it gets done so I can try some dragons blood.
