OK...back from Omaha and my bro's doing fine. All ready to continue his regimen of double cheesburgers and supersized fries. Maybe, just maybe the zipper on his chest will be a reminder to occasionally have a salad and take a walk.
I took your advice and just for grins dumped in another packet of yeast before I got on the plane. I tossed in a packet of 2 year old 71B-1122 that I was going to throw out. It was expired but kept refrigerated. To my surprise, the S.G. was down to 1.040 upon my return. I dumped in the last bottle of lemon juice, the nutrient and energizer and racked to a carboy. It's percolating nicely. I used the slurry from the Pinot Blanc to start a new batch because I didn't have much faith in the first. Looks like I'll be up to my neck in pee. I used the brand name Real Lemon on this batch. It smells a whole lot better than what I tried first (Richfood). Stay tuned and thanks for the advice.
