[QUOTE="Whitehrs, post: 641434, member: 34009"] So, yep. I've been here a year, but I'm still a noob.. I was at the supply store a week or so ago, and thought this concentrate might be good, and I've never done one of these. So, the $31.95 purchase was on. I read the entire instructions. I did it just as the instructions said. Sure enough SG:1.081 (Jug said it should be 1.077. Not sure why it was so specific.) but that is in the ballpark. I bought a 5 gallon PET1 water bottle type carboy, and nearly 5 gallons of water at wally world. I didn't want to use the tap water here. We have an oil rich geography, a refinery, 3 chemical plants, and a waste disposal plant. The water in my little 18k population city is oil rich, and safe to say that if using the water there is probably no reason to sterilize the water.. Jokingly of course. The water doesn't take off, but there is an extraordinarily high cancer rate here.. Anyway, I bought good water. I made it by the instructions, it is slow to start, and smells of rotten eggs, and PBR beer farts. I used red star montrachet yeast one packet. Is in a white 6.5 gallon brew bucket with lid and air lock as it calls for. I tested after 24 hours it was down to SG: 1.073. at 68 Degrees in the house, on the sticker thermometer on the bucket. not sure what could be stressing the yeast. they should be loving their life right now, as far as I can figure. The taste is very good, strong blueberry flavor. Anyway, everytime the airlock burps, it smells like Dak Prescott's post practice draws...any suggestions, would help keep the wonderful Miss Sherri from kicking me and my wine out. [/QUOTE]
