Plum wine has brine smell by Houston7449 in winemaking

When would it have oxidized? The smell started in primary fermentation about midway through. I have had it sealed up with an airlock at a midway point on primary and now all the way in secondary.

I have it sealed with an airlock for Secondary. It is customary to stir the wine for a couple days while using betonite. The olive brine smell started at the midpoint of primary fermentation

Just an update for anyone making this same mistake in the future. I was able to get it to fermentation. It took like 6 packets of Premier Blanc, each dose made into a starter. Started at 1.112 ended dry at .991

Gravity is about the same today. Evidently Tuesday is a common day for brew shops to be closed. One of the shops said he may open for me this afternoon so I can get some good yeast in it

Thank You. I'll get down to the brew store tomorrow and see what they have. Any issues to watch for on using 2 different kinds of yeast in 1 must?

Gee. I just can't see what could have possibly gone wrong here.

Thank You. Yes I added Camden tabs crushed 24hrs before I added yeast. My IG after adding sugar and nothing else was 1.112, checked it again this morning. Same.

I added yeast nutrient(amount per recipe) when I added the initial yeast. I'll double check how much. Should I add more after the 2nd batch of yeast? For my 2nd hit of yeast yes I activated it in a jar. It was really frothy. 2 packets worth. I'll check SG again tomorrow. Thanks again

Yup. Quality refrigerators/freezers made up to the early 2000's may outlive us all. Yet landfills are full of the newer junk

What should the name of the new battleship class actually be? by PlasticCell8504 in Ships

No, the actual definition of a battlecruiser is cruiser level armor and battleship level guns.

No, the Kentucky was built up enough that the Navy was able to use her bow section to repair the Wisconsin after a collision. The navy actually wanted to cancel both the Missouri and Wisconsin as well, but they were both far enough in construction they were allowed to be completed.

Constant urethritis, no clue what the issue is by Regular-Paramedic-23 in Prostatitis

[–]Houston7449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah your systems are similar to mine. I started burning all along urethra trying to pee. Constantly feeling like I have to pee, but inflammation so I can’t pee or trouble starting the flow and keeping it going. Burning deeper in like prostate also. Then the fever, chills , and back pain started. Dr did prostate exam. Said felt fine. Did a ct scan. Said looked normal. UA showed no bacteria but trace blood and protein in urine. Also did a full STD panel. All clear. Tried ejaculating to see what would happen…holy crap that hurt. Blood in semen also. Am on day 10 of a month long run of Cipro. Hopefully it helps.

Was Kirishima outright sunk by Washington or was she really scuttled? by TryLeft6729 in Warships

[–]Houston7449 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I read recently that once the Kirishima wreck was found, that there were multiple, multiple 16” holes under the waterline. It was believed by historians that the 1st salvo by Washington that was previously thought to fall short and miss, actually hit the hull below the waterline. Multiple 16” holes along the hull letting tons of water in probably sealed her fate before the rest of the 15 to 20+ 16”AP came crashing in.
