A bit of an update I let it sit for a little over two full days before I pitched the yeast . It has been a ccouple of days and there seem to be a bit of bubbling going on. so looks like I am off to a good start.going to wait for a couple more days and move it in to a carboy wait until it drops...

Kinda silly question I know but . I have started some Skeeter pee but instead of using lemon i have used Lime juice. I am wanting to add some Oregon brand cherries after priary fermantion but could have swore the can said "in water" instead i noticed today that they say in heavy syrup. Ya think...
