I have some left over apple juice concentrate wash the wash was dry seen just a really slow bubble can I save this and use later for a nutrient if so what is the best way to keep

What proof is it.
think it best to draw the cider off an add what left bottom
to your next warsh cider or beer.

What you doin is learnin don't be scared to make
mistakes. Split in 1/2 an try both ways

So IM Tole

there aint any solids in fermenter just thick liquid ! can I freeze this and use later ? not sure what proof just sugar wash with apple juice concentrate and bakers yeast

thick liquid. aint understandin that. if it had of worked off it shouldn't be thick if it only juice an sugar. yes you can put in the icebox .
when you use it an dump it out look in the bottom. if you added yeast that's where it gonna be.


so im tole

not realy a thick liquid wrong description maybe like a sludge not much of it and not real thick

Ok so you are asking what you can do with the trub left in the fermenter. After you racked off the cleared wash for the still?

If so. It's a mixture of dead yeast, live yeast, and solids from whatever you fermented. If you want to use it for nutrients in later washes. Pour it into ice cube trays. Let them freeze. That will kill off the live yeast. And give you nice little blocks of yeasty nutrients. That can be added to new washes later. It won't provide all the nutrients needed. But will provide some good nutrients.

If you want to reuse the live yeast? Jar it up add a little sugar and place it in the fridge. It won't keep long. But you can then pull it out before you are ready to pitch it. Let it warm up to room temp. Add some of the new wash to it. Let it get going. And pitch it.

This is all dependent on what you are making. Trub from a high flavored ferment may or maynot work good in a wash with a low flavor profile. It may add off flavors you don't want. The opposite may also hold true. Adding flavors to a new wash that could improve it.

Another method is dump next wash in without cleaning and keep an other ferment going.

Or filter it and drink it as hard cider...

Or use it to make bread.
