CAP

[NIGHTOWL]

I pitched my yeast yesterday and now I have a nice cap.
Do I break the cap and stir or leave it alone till its done in 7 days or so?
Thanks, very new at this.

Well first of all, what did you make?

Hi NcMoonLight, what I made was,about 25 pouunds cracked corn,28 pounds sugar,about 25 gal. water.
Boiled about 12 gal. water,added corn,stired ,turned heat down a bit simmered and stired a while,put in 34 cal trash can added cool water up to about 30 gal.
put a cup of sugar in a pot of warm water added 3 packs of red star yeast let it foam up then added to my mash.
Thats about it.
Thanks

Thanks junkyard dawg
Will this cap fall,sink to the bottom when it is done fermenting and ready to run?
Thanks

Yupp, the spare corn thats still floating can be tossed out. The only caps you push down everyday would be fruit washes, thats why I was wondering what you made

Thanks NcMoonLight,thats what I thought,I have read so much sometimes it all goes together!

Sounds good man, and I hate to get off topic but every time I see your name I look on the shelve beside my CP desk and see my New NightOwl Night Vision I just went off n traded in the older model for the new Xgenpro version. Sense I still outside n the woods durring the summer I always have the best night vision I can buy sense the law also uses it I just turn mine on and use it to look around every now n then sense if they turn there IR light on it shows up light a spot light on mine

when I started mine the temp. was in the 70s and 80s worked good for 3 or 4 days ,then temp. fell to 30s at night 40s 50s day time.
the temp has been up and down here in KY.
Mine has been working for 18 days in shop building with no heat,bubbles good when stays warm for few days,not so much when its down to 40s at night.
Started at 1.070 , now its at 1.020,is this still alright to just wait for it to get to 1.000
THANKS

most likely, it'll be fine.

perfectionists might like that temp to be the same throughout, but I think allowing the ferment to follow what nature does works just fine. Most always worked out for me anyway...
