In making the must for my pee, and using the recipe from skeeterpee.com. i put in double the yeast nutrient. will this be ok or did i mess up? anything i can do to fix it if it is a problem?
I did that once by accident and the fermentation was off the charts. I had to remove some of the must and put into another container so as to allow enough room for the very active fermentation.
I don't think you will have a problem, but you will want to keep an eye on it. The yeast will love the nutrient and you could have a overflow.
You people that need twice the nutrient, you should just use the recommended amount of nutrient and the recommended amount of yeast energizer. Energizer is a nutrient with additional minerals that nutrient doesnt have, You stage the energizer while adding all the nutrient up front meaning you add 1/3rd the energizer in primary, then add another 1/3rd at 1/3rds the sugar consumption and the least at 2/3rds the sugar consumption. If you start at 1.090 then you would add some at 1.060 and the rest at 1.030. I have never had a tough fermentation using this schedule with the exception of the Choc Rasp. Port kit as that kit is just a serious problem child.
I know but did you use any energizer? Like I said it has different nutrients in there that are probably missing from the fermentation for the yeast to do a good job. Yeast is a living thing and cant thrive without proper nutrient just like you and me.
Wow, what yeast did you use for the slurry?
Looks like something might be wrong with the must, this new starter I'm doing was going good, but then has died down gradually as I introduced must a couple cups at a time over the last 12+ hours.
huh how long did your slurry sit before adding it to the lime juice? Did you refrig your slurry until you were ready to use and then allow it to warm to room temp before you added it to the must? ive never had to make a starter to go along with my slurry.
