15 pounds of all grain sweet feed
10 Gallon hot water 150F +
let that set for about 90 minutes
add water up to fill up to 25 gallon mark
then add 50 pounds of sugar while stirring the hell out of it. that will bring you up to 30 gallons.
starting sg of 1.06
add 1 packet of prestige WD with ag yeast
(you could also use bakers yeast I just prefer the Prestige WD with AG)
place a towel over the barrel to keep bugs out
the next day it sounds like bacon frying in the pan and smells great.
this ferments out in about 8-10 days depending on the temp. My garage has been staying about 90f lately.
Can i use this 30 gallon recipe in a 55 gallon drum with a sealed lid and a bubbler? where can I buy this yeast and how much is in one packet? Can this be fermented in my basement? Temps at 68 degrees in basement. Or does it need to be warmer? If so, how do I get it warmer? Thanks!
