we have done mango several times now, it always comes out easy and the same, great. we started some more 5 days ago. the same added the same amount of everything, with 1 cambden tablet and within 1 hour it was totally separated. im lost.

now we also decided to try apricot. never tried that one. same thing, within and hour all 5 gallons was separated. but after adding the yeast and mixing it up and stayed together. the mango has not.

also tried one gallon of pineapple for fun. that too, separated.
2 gallons a pomegranate, perfect didnt separate.

very odd. ideas?
 
Gravity pulls the big stuff like pulp down to the bottom, I have never made a mango that didnt have a lot of sediment from the start, just stir it up good, the yeast will attach itself to the particles and float them around a while until they are spent and they drop back down to the bottom again.

if you do not have the fruit in a bag, then you should be stirring a couple times a day.
