Im just curious how often does everybody degas and add yeast nutrients during primary ?
Wouldn't do it if making beer the degassing aspect. Normally add my yeast nutrients to the boil and that's enough. Some breweries do rouse their ferment after 48 hours ( Timothy Taylor springs to mind) but that's not to degas.
See this from about 55 seconds.
I do degas wine but only at the end of primary after transfer.
So your saying to add yeast nutrients constantly threw the primary ? Can it be natural nutrients or does it need to be something i buy from a brew store ?As to nutrients Look up TOSNA 3.0 for higher ABV mead to calculate the amounts. Nutrient additions at yeast pitch, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1/3 sugar break.
I stir the must 2Xs a day to 1/3 sugar break. It releases the CO2, perhaps adds a little air and suspends any yeast that may have setled. All are beneficial early in the ferment. Some may argue not necessary but seems to work well for me.
Ok so im still pretty new what's this sugar break yall keep talking about ?
Yeah it does i looked up the tonsa 3.0 after yall recommended it ....thanks for the help ...this is really fun i haven't been this interested in learning in years lolyou take the OG devide by 3, this is generally when you add the nutrients, so 1/3 and 2/3rds of the fermentation. So If you have a 1.100 must, the breaks are 1.066 and 1.033, for the nutrients you add some at the beginning, some at the 1/3 and some at the 2/3 break, and according to the BOMM protocol you degas daily till 2/3 break. I hope this makes sense. Also look up the TONSA 3.0 protocol.
I make meads, at the moment I am in a hiatus because all of my kegs are full because of covid (I made over 30 gallons last year) . I make waaay more than I can drinkWow ...i dont have anything fancy like that just glass carboys and airlocks ....what do you make ? And how much is a set up like that ?
