I have a similar situation. I was just cooling down some wort and the tube from the blowoff valve on the Spike Brewing conical 15-gallon fermenter (bada$$) had some back pressure and sucked up a good two or three cups of garden hose water in an un-sanitized bucket I have no idea what I used for...

@Marz I am kegging with a CO2 tank and force carbonating. The yellow is a unique color. For funsies I might add a food die or real fruit juice to make a more palatable color than yellow. Black cherry 🍒 will be going in one keg. What flavor should I use for the other keg? Thanks, Cookin’chickens

@JJinTX Git’ r done boy! I bought a 50-lb bag of powdered cane sugar from Costco, brought hose water to about 120-degrees Fahrenheit, slowly mixed in 5-lbs of the sugar, then pitched CBC-1 yeast into the hard seltzer “wort” at 70-degrees, then waited a day or two and added in some Fermax...

@Marz is the corona bottle filled with your seltzer?

@Marz Thanks for the reply. Yes, I used pure cane powdered sugar from Costco (50-lb bag). I kegged last night and put both seltzer’s into the keezer at ~36-degrees Fahrenheit to cold crash and let let particles settle. Next step will be fining, carbonating, then flavoring.

Hello, I pitched 1-pack Lallemand’s CBC-1 yeast into 6-gallons of ~82-degrees Fahrenheit water with 4-lbs powdered sugar dissolved into the water. Just water, sugar, and yeast. Any problems with doing it this way? I noticed 12-hours after pitching yeast the seltzer wort is not actively...
