Howdy,

I can't get mine to ferment. I've added Montrechet twice over 2 weeks and...nothing. The only thing I've done differently from the OP is skipping the yeast energizer and nutrient since I don't have any.

If that's the problem can I just dump them in?

Thanks.

You need those, it is extremely acidic and has a staggering amount of sugar in it.

Hey NF thanks for all the input. I just read the entire thread and I would to brew this. I had been planning on making some of EdWort apfelwien (I have made this a number of times with great results) and pitching on the cake afterwords.

You stated above you followed it to the "t", his recipe call for Montrachet and I see you chose to use Nottingham. Later you state it stalled and you re pitched some more, and you would not recommend using Notty. Do you think I would be safe pitching on the Montrachet cake with some nutrient/energizer?

Yes. If I was going to do it again I would use Montrachet cake with nutrient and energizer.

Thanks.

Can I just add the nutrient/energizer, or should I pitch for a third time?

I'm honestly not sure, but I'm sure the answer is on this forum somewhere.

I did this about a month ago and im in secondary now so im just waiting around for this to ferment out. I can't wait to bottle it. anyways i had an OG of 1.115 and i used 10 pounds pure cane sugar heated in 4 gallons of water, and added 6 cans of lemonade concertrate and 4 cans of limeade concentrate. I filled it up to 6 gallons and pitched my yeast. It wasnt doing much so i added some yeast nutrients and energizer and before i knew it the airlock was going crazy. Im gonna try and get as close to 1.000 as possible. Im pumped to have a bottle of this! ooo and fermenting right around 70-72 degrees.
