G'Day Guy's,
Picked the last crop off the chilli tree this morning and put the frozen batch in my solar oven to defrost which only took about 1/2 an hour in the full sun :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
So got thinking if i just did a 5 litre ferment it would only be about 4 litres as head room is needed and we have a heap of 10 litre buckets here with sealable lids :handgestures-thumbupleft: so drilled a hole in the lid and fitted an airlock and now i got a 10 litre fermenter :laughing-rolling:
Had a bit of white sugar onhand here so inverted it then chucked it and topped it to just over 8 litres, checked the PH and 5 was the result :handgestures-thumbupleft: the temp of the wash is 43C and the SG is 1065 so later this arvo I'll make a yeast starter with some EC1118 yeast and let it do it's thing and have a blast converting those chilli's for me :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
so this will give me enough for 2 strip runs in my 5 litre 2" pot still and then a spirit run.
Cheers Bryan
