What is the dragons blood recipe for 6 gal carboy. I can't wait to make some cause Ive heard it's quick.
Allen, I use Wyamn's Triple Berry Blend (frozen fruit---blueberry, blackberry, raspberry) from the freezer section at Walmart.
1. I have a 2 gal primary with lid and hole in top, when mixing the initial ingredients, do I put this lid on or a towel or the lid with airlock?
2. I don't have a brew belt, is that necessary or can I use what I have in the kit?
3.Degas? I assume this is stirring alot?
4. Can I cut all ingredients by a sixth to make a gallon batch?
Oh and dragon blood will get u loose as a goose quickly.
Thanks, Dend, for getting my back on the Dragon Blood questions! I appreciate it!
Question about Dragon Blood.
1. I didn't notice a campden tablet in the recipe.
Step 4: When specific gravity (SG) reaches <1.000, do the following:
Squeeze juices from fruit pack into fermenter---remove friut pack: Discard fruit.
Rack to cleaned and sanitized six gallon carboy
Add 1/4 tsp. Potassium Metabisulfite (stir)
Add 3 tsp. Potassium Sorbate (stir)
Degas very thoroughly: I cannot emphasize this enough!
Add Sparkolloid* (or other cleaing agent): *1 tbs in one cup of water simmered for about 30 minutes. Add hot mixture to carboy.
Allow to clear undistrubed for no less than 1 week
2. When backsweetening with the above mentioned juice, do you just add the juice concentrate or mix it with water first.
Just started my first batch of DB tonight, SG 1.074, will be adding yeast tomorrow.
