over 24 hours ago i pinched about a table soop of Notingham dry yeast into a gallon of plain apple juice from concentrat... and even twenty-four hours later nothing... used the rest of the package on a five gallon i batch of the same type of juice just about 2-3 hours ago and normally see fermentation atleast start with in a 12 hour periode... the tempature has been held at 62F for the last 24 hours and nothing in the one gallon container and nothing in the 5 gallon container which is only 2-3 hours old... not really concerned yet but something doesnt seem right... the dry yeast was refigerated for 24 hours prior to adding it then put back into the fridge after opening for and additional 24hours in a sealed baggie... just wonder if anybody who has more experience with this yeast (my first batch with it) could tewll me more about it i would be greatful... bought it under recamendation from the thread at the top of the cider forum about the test batches so i have already read that... Almost went with US-05 which i also bought under same recamendation, ended up using the notingham... although i read a post on another site which has dubted it "Nothingham" and i was kinda discouraged by that post... i think it has somthing to do with the high ammount of vitmin C in the juice, which is just sams choice brand apple juice you buy at walmart... Any information will be helpful... i will check when i go to bed in about an hour at 11:45 EST...Thanks
You know whats funny is i just threw a quick stright juice batch togather today because i didnt have time for a real complex batch because i have exams for college starting tommrrow i hope this isnt a bad omen or somthing
Also if anybody has any helpful hints on strong ABV, and HG yeast which might hit between 18 and 20 i would be very very greatful... still working on that brewing above or at 20% project... actully the goal is 21% because its 42Proof... I plan on calling it "Meaning of life cider" after the douglas adam's hitch-hickers guide to the galaxy... so any tips would be helpful... unless i suddenly find a life between now and completion which will then it might take a backseat... im pitiful i know:rockin:
Cheers
