Hi, I've never brewed using fruit before. I'm going to be adding some fruit to the secondary fermenter and had two questions.
1. Do I need to check the gravity 4 times, 3, or just 2? I wasn't sure if I would have to measure it after I add the fruit or if I should just check it after both fermentations have taken place and compare to the original?
2. Should I toss a good part of the yeast cake in the 2nd to make sure that there's enough yeast to finish the 2nd fermentation,should i buy some new yeast, or should i just leave the cake on the bottom not buy any more yeast and hope that there is still enough yeast for completing the fermentation?
Thanks for the help look forward to the responses.
