Hey,
I have two jugs of braggot going - it's a simple recipe with pellet hops, 1/2 honey and 1/2 amber beer malt extract and larger yeast.
What is weird is they are both exactly the same (they even came from the same mixture pot!), but one of them hasn't bubbled at all for almost a week while the other one is still going strong. They've only been fermenting for about a week and half.
I'm a bit worried that it's been "poisoned", as when I first made them, the froth actually bubbled up into the air-lock, and the air-lock contained a sanitizer/water mix. Is it possible it sucked some of that mix back down into the must, killed all the yeast and poisoned the brew? The airlock got some froth in it from both brews, but only one has stopped. The other one is showing a lot of action.
Abour four days ago I added extra yeast to the one that had stopped bubbling, but nothing more has happened.
Should I just throw it out? (also ... should I throw the other one out that is still bubbling away, in case it got "poisoned"?)...
Cheers!
