What am I looking at here?
I dissolved 2kg of HOMEBRAND brown sugar into about 4L of 50 deg water then added 1kg of HOMEBRAND sultanas placed the lid on the pot and allowed to soak for 24hrs, strained most of the water into 30L fermenter and blended the now semi rehydrated sultanas to a paste and added to the fermenter, then added 15L HOMEBRAND apple juice to the fermenter and topped up to 25L about another 4L of water.
Started a 5 gram sachet of EC 1118 according to bt1 instructions the yeast seemed to react/swell for lack of a better term so I stared to add Tbs of wash not sure how to explain it but looked a little sinister :o
SG was 1070 and has been bubbling away for 3 days now this is what it looks like. Not sure what to make of it as I've only ever done Rum washes before.
Tasted great when I put it down and still smells pretty good but it's starting to get that wine/alco smell to it I think/hope.
Sorry if I've hijacked this thread but I figured along the same lines anyhow.
