Having a Problem with a Sugar Wash Recipe

Post by artooks »

Hi Everyone,

Trying to make a combination of some recipes, I come up with this recipe.

Multivitamin Wash 30lt Neutral Recipe

Recipe

* 6.65 kg Sugar
* 25.9 lt Water
* 6 Centrum Multivitamin
* 11 gr Boiled yeast component
* 2 tsp Lemon Juice
* 7.5 gram Epsom Salt - (1tsp Epsom Salt: 4 gr)
* 18 Gram DAP
* 66 gr Bakers Yeast

SG: 1.085


Everything is looking good but since I started this recipe, I am also taking daily gravity data.

Started the recipe on 15.12.2017 @ 1.085
16.12.2017 @ 1.070
17.12.2017 @ 1.054
18.12.2017 @ 1.040
19.12.2017 @ 1.036
20.12.2017 @ 1.030

It has been 8 days it still bubbles very little, but it has been 8 days, My tempreature controlled fermentation tank is set @27 Degrees Celcius ( 80 Fahrenheit). It looks like after 8 days it slowed down, I was targeting this to be dry in a week, but it is not the case.

I suspect the yeast amount is not sufficient ? what do you think, Should I lower the DAP a little bit, also would it help to increse the fermentation temp to 30 degrees celcius ? should I discard the lemon juice ?

My target is 1 week, what modifications should I make for this recipe to be dry in 1 week, I appreciate the help.

Thanks
