No bad flavours either....

Hey Maxxx sorry I didn't see this! I pulled the pin on this 200L and will run it this weekend as is but threw down another 200L using a mix of Fermaid O (what I have) and DAP, 3tbs and 2tbs.
See how that goes!
rushn wrote:Hey legends. I’ve done a heap of other sugerheads in the past, but I’m having all sorts of issues with my first Kale wash. Put down 25L 10 days ago - 6kg table sugar, 1/2 cup Lowans, 125g frozen Kale simmered in a pot of water for 20 minutes, then strained into the FV (no pulp, just the boilings). Kept between 24 & 28C. 4 days ago, only down to 1.020. I added a teaspoon of DAP. Checked a day later, down to 1.010. Checked two days later and still sitting at 1.010. So today, I made a yeast bomb of another 125g frozen Kale dissolved in hot water, two teaspoons of table sugar, and another 40g Lowans. Let sit to rehydrate the yeasties, then stirred into the stalled wash, pulp and all. I’m hoping this works!
Any ideas what I did wrong? Should I have added the whole Kale into the wash instead of just the boilings, as I read somewhere else? I’ve never had an issue with pH, but could the Kale upset this more so than say, a TPW?
TIA
