Why won't my porkfelwine ferment!
|
|
I followed the recipe for porkfelwine (Pork + Apfelwine) that you guys mentioned on Tuesday. I dried out about 4 pounds of bacon in the oven and removed most of the grease then put it in my carboy along with the traditional apfelwine recipe and 2 packets of montrachet wine yeast.
Usually the apfelwine is going by now 2 days after the start, but still no fermentation, this is getting frustraiting, additionally, there is a ton of coagulated pig grease floating at the top of my carboy, could this be affecting the yeast growth.
Help I don't want to wast 4 pounds of bacon and 5 gallons of juice.

that montrachet takes awhile to start, don't worry...your brewhouse will smell like a smokehouse soon enough 
Let me know how it turns out. I'm usually very averse to putting animal products into beer, but I could make an exception for bacon. Chewy yummy smoky BACON!

Typically with porkfelwine you get the dreaded 'pig farts' as opposed to the traditional apfelwein rhino farts.
When your carboy smells like pig $hit, you've got fermentation.

It typically only ferments and finishes on the 90th day of the year or in the case of leap year, the 91st.  |

What about some beef tounge?
