O.K. Wife wanted me to brew her a clean dom tasting brew. No flavor, plain bland Etc. I know right...
Anyway, brewed the following last night:
6lbs Of Rice Syrup Solids
1oz Cascade Hops
Danstar Nottingham Yeast
Ferment temp between 68-71 degrees in a swamp style cooler with ice bottles to control temp.
When I got home from work today, I noticed that I have zero fermentation bubbles coming from my airlock, so 2 things crossed my mind.
1. Danstar yeast problem- Could be bad yeast
2. Yeast will not ferment an all Rice syrup Solid brew.
I had a second packet of Danstar Nottingham, and I just tossed it incrementally to my fermentation pale.
Anyone ever brew with only Rice Syrup Solids? Will only Rice Syrup Solids ferment, or are they missing essential nutrients that yeast need? How long should I give this brew a chance to ferment with the second packet of yeast added? Any advise would help other than my personal advice to myself "Toss this bucket of crap and brew real beer".
Please Help!
