Been awhile…
I have been icing the the water bath every morning and evening. No bad nose until tonight. The 6.1 gal carbot has a very slight H2S coming out the bubbler.
- 6.6 gal carboy
- sugar: 2.5% (~ -1+/day)
- nose: mild citrus; not very strong aroma; some mineral
- taste: bitter; I hope that goes away. Citrus
- 6.1 gal carboy
- sugar: 1.5% ( ~-1+/day)
- nose: same as above; no H2S on the nose
- taste: good acidity; crisp; less bitter than the other carboy
Even with the slight H2S near the carboys, I am going to let it go. These should be done in a day or two. The plan is to move them to the farm as soon as they are dry. Then let them rest!
