mines in a carboy ready to get transferred and back sweetened then it will sit in the carboy for a week then bottled
The only lemon juice I could find around here contains sulphites, any advice?
I was thinking warming the must up a bit and then giving it a good whisk and then letting it sit a day before pitching the yeast slurry.
ok, so I just bottled my Apfelwein and I want to make this Skeeter Pee next. Can I just rack on top of my yeast cake? How long is the Yeast Cake viable?
No clue how to do this here...
You could sanitize a container and then keep your slurry in the fridge for quite a while. Probably months. I have some beer yeast that I washed and have reused it months after and it's been fine.
I think you need to start over and just follow the directions.
Has anyone made with fresh yeast? Maybe S-05? I don't have time to go through all 11 pages and look.
Seriously? Rant incoming.
RANT ERASED.
Sorry, I had a moment there.
No, you have to use a yeast cake, as far as everyone knows.
Some help.
I did a one gallon batch because i only had a yeast slurry from one gallon of wine. And as far as I can tell I did follow the directions. Hence, asking where I went wrong. If you make the same recipe with 1/5th the ingredients you should get the same result with one fifth the quantity. (As far as I can figure) any one actually have any help?
This sucks, I really doubt I'm going to be able to find lemon juice here in Aus.. Does anyone have any idea on how many lemons it would take for this?
Someone asked earlier - How well does this age?
I was going to make some right after the new year for the summer but wanted to make sure it would be nice by then.
Hell if I know...Cant keep any around long enough to find out.
I don't think aging does anything, maybe if it's not completely clear it will clear more but once you add the sorbate to kill the yeast at the end I think it is what it is taste wise. The recipe says it needs no aging and is ready to drink when done.
I would think not. It's got a higher ABV than apfelwein. I am sure it would be fine I think its like 10% ABV.
