Got that big ol water bed pillow out, ready to pour into fermenter...didnt spill a drop! But I did spill a couple
10 second rule let me swab it up with a finger and taste, really good!
Meantime I had the bentonite and yeast hydrating...
Got it all in , mixed bentonite,waited for foam to go downthen pitched yeast. Next...
I think it was Appleman that said Mosti's raisins tasted like Muscat, I cant tell, taste like raisins.
SG was 1.10 before addition, so I'm sure its a little higher. Was very impressed with the better instructions that came with this one, I didn't have to wing it
, also the fact there is yeast nutrient with this one, Ive often been tempted to use on a kit, never have. The addition at racking when SG is 1.040-1.050 makes a great deal of since, keep that generation of yeast happy. Thanks to the heads up from Joseph I will keep the top on loosely, and watch close, really need to break down and buy a larger fermenter...maybe after the floor corker my wife so desperately wants.
So we're off, wait until 1.040-1.050 to rack, add nutrient, and oak. Smells really great!
