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.

Fermentation Question

Post by prazyr71 »

I have tried a few new ideas and am not sure whats going on. I generaly prepare 4 five gallon buckets at a time. 1st bucket has 5 lbs of craissens (cranberry raisens) and 5 lbs of white sugar. air lock has been going balistic for 3 days now. 2nd bucket has sweet feed mix that i have had very good luck with in the past. Airlock is bubbling nicely. 3rd bucket has 7 lbs of brown sugar and 7 lbs of cracked corn. airlock is bubbling nicely. 4th bucket is the problem. I did a simple mash of 7 lbs brown sugar and water. After i pitched the distillers yeast....nothing for two days. pitched some bakers yeast.....nothing for another day. added some barely and heated to 100 F. now it seems to be doing a little but i expected more with all that sugar.... any ideas how to save this bucket?
