Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.
Wash info: 15 l H2o; Aprox. 2 kg sugar= 1.090 sg ; 1/2 cup Tomato Paste; 1/4 cup lime juice; 47 grams bakers yeast; Pinch of epson salt; Sorry for the mix of english and metric.
This is third time I've run this formula. They have averaged 12 days to get to 1.00 sg. and end result was 3 liters at 30 abv. Room temps were between 16-21c.
Using an airlock after day 3. It has a nice thick foam when I seal bucket. Airlock bubbles every 4 seconds or less for the first 5 days when bubbles have slowed to about every 15 seconds. Checked sg = 1.05. Wash still sweet. No wine smell. At 13 days out the sg= 1.04 . Bubbles every 25 seconds and semi-sweet. I do mix wash every 24 hrs.......Why so slow???Important Info:
