I have two five gallon batches of Skeeter Pee started. I have made a BUNCH of it in the past but these 2 batches are NOT starting for some reason. Here is what I did and if someone could critique it I would appreciate it..
I made a batch of wine with some concord graped I picked. I made my skeeter pee in two batches added the extra ingredients and wisked it up really good. I waited until the next day and racked the grape wine into a clean carboy. I took two cups from each skeeter pee batch and poured it into the wine slurry and mixed it up really well then divided it in half and added it back to the skeeter pee. It came out to 3.5 cups for each batch so IMO plenty of slurry per batch. I wisked it up again and covered them with towels...this was 3 days ago and so far NOTHING. I have wisked them 2-3 times a day and just checked the temp and it is right at 70 degrees. I did sprinkle a packet of PASTUER RED over each one just now hoping to get it going. I may be just impatient but it has never taken this long to take off. and yes I checked the SG to make sure it is NOT fermenting.
