I've made my first batch of SkeeterPee named GSB for "Generic Summer Beverage" and it's a hit! Not having any yeast slurry from a prior batch, I just tossed some EC1118 at it and I have to say, the stuff really is good. I did a double batch for my first one and most is gone already. Boo. Time to make more!
So about a week ago I started a peach wine using a Vintners Harvest 96oz peach juice can and three pounds of frozen peaches. That's now been sitting at .990 SG for it's third day (today). That means tonight I'll rack it off and continue the peach journey in it's own carboy leaving the yeast slurry/sediment.
Do I have to do anything special with the yeast slurry/sdiment on the bottom of my peach batch in order to use it for the starter for my next batch of SkeeterPee I'll start in a couple days? Or do I just rack off the peach above the sediment, then pour the sediment into a clean/sanitized gallon jug and keep it in the fridge for a day until I can start my SkeeterPee with it?
Anything special I need to do? Room temperature before I add it? Or just pour it in when it's time?
Excited about this new adventure and looking for your expertise!
