Just wanted to say thanks to you inmates!
I'm starting my first batch of Skeeter Pee and have only ever made kit wines before so this is interesting and challenging!
I followed the directions for standard SP and made two seperate 5.5 gallon batches. (just in case I wanted to experiment with one or some when I backsweeten) (cranberry, mojito etc etc).
I've whisked them and let them sit for abotu 48 hours.
I have now made my first yeast starters ever as well. (in the mason jars in the pic).
After less than an hour the starters are foaming away nicely.
I'll add about a cup of the must to each starter in about an hour and then add the starters to the 5.5 gallons.
This thread was more for me to just verbalize what I'm doing and how its coming along and to say thanks for answering my questions as this can be a little intimidating the first time.
I'm going away for 5 days next week so I'll have to trust the wife to keep an eye on it.
Hoping its ready by July 11 for a summer party we're hosting to which you're all invited!!
