Day 7: Crankin!
Ferment is really going now.
- 5 gal carboy:
- Sugar: 18 Brix (-3/day)
- Nose:Grapefruit, yeast
- Taste: sweet, grapefruit, citrus, fizz…can I bottle this?
- 6.6 gal carboy; when taking a sample, pretty strong whif of H2S, that quickly dissipated.
- Sugar:18 Brix (-2.5/day)
- Nose: slight H2S;grapefruit, citrus, yeast
- Taste: sweet, grapefruit, fizz
- 6.1 gal carboy
- Sugar:18.5 Brix (-2/day)
- Nose: I sniffed and tasted right away: brief whif of H2S; blew off pretty fast, then just as above.
- Taste: Just as above
I am think I need to rack off the lees, whatever little there is. I shoudln’t need any more Fermaid K. I will let it sit until tomorrow night, then rack it. Actually, I think I’ll add some DAP (diammonium phosphate). Nitrogen is what it is to the yeast
- 1 g/gal * 14 gallons = 14g split up among the 3 carboys
