Lessons learned from the first batch, this batch has no added water.
supplies:
20 containers of Newmans Own Limeade (2 were lemonade because my short little t-rex arms couldn't reach)
14 # sugar (SG 1.140, aiming for 18%)
Kv1116 (my LBS was out of 118)
Energizer and Nutrient at normal SP levels.
all 20 would not fit in the brew bucket, thankfully I made the sugar slurried limeade first. lesson learned from my first batch. have 2 gallons left which will likely be drank anyway.
attempted to wake up the yeast with a nice sugary snack and warm water, it wasn't amused. pitched it anyways. fed & energized, still no reaction. Park it in corner of the kitchen. just checked on it, fizzing has begin! resting the lid on the bucket to keep the flies out of it.
