Quick check: when I get in tonight I'm getting my fig wash on. I have 30Kg of figs so that means add 30kg of sugar and fill to 150L with water??
:o
That sounds very high.
I was thinking this 30kg would go in my 200L fermenter and I'd fill to around 90L on top with water. I've got some pectinase and enough EC1118 yeast for 100L of wine.
Anyone got some thoughts on if I should go to 120L in the fermenter and make a yeast starter? I want to get a decent abv % out of the wash to make it worth all the effort but 30kg of shugaz? Surely no?
Kimbo? Crow? Thoughts please.
