You are just making it harder for yourself. Over thinking it.
What you should be seeing is. There are so many ways to skin this cat. And that you shoukd experiment to find which way works best for you. I could tell you exactly how I do it. Then tell you not to do it any other way. And when you do it. You end up with something you don't like. Or it just won't work for you. I can think of a dozen ways to do a UJSSM. All will give a little different outcome. And or different process to fit different equipment needs. Are any of them the wrong way. No not really. They mite not give you what you are looking for. But they mite work for Joe lunchbox.
It's all a mix of exact science and magic. But until you try for yourself. You won't figure out what's what.
So pick a direction and try it. If it doesn't work or you just feel the need. Try it a different way the next time. Until you find the best way for you.
Yes sometimes you see new members hammered. But usually the answer is right on the end of their nose. And you just gota slap it off so they can see it. Like when my wife is running around the house throwing a fit because she can't find her glasses. And they are on her face. Slap hello!
There is no stupid question. But don't get upset if someone tells you the question you asked is stupid. Or they hammer you. Take it as the old man slapping you on the back of the head. And move on.
And if you word the question as if you actually tried to find the answer. Most will point you in the right direction.
The must read new distiller reading lounge. Has most if not all the answers to the most frequent asked questions. If it cant be found there the parent site will have something. But it takes time for it to soak in. So reading it multiple times helps tremendously.
As far as recipes. Take the discussions as ideas of different ways to do it. And figure out which one sounds best for you. And go for it.
let ferment for 3-4 days do it all over again
