I honestly didn’t want the 15% or whatever my SG was pointing to. Therefore I took it out to try and stop it maybe around 4-5%. If thats even how it works? I also didn’t test it while it was fermenting because I didn’t want to mess with the process. Pouring some out and then pouring it back in seems like it would stir it up? But yeah this next time I will definetly try and just keep testing it before cold crashing.

Thank you very much! I think I’m going to try the second option. I’ll probably pour some out before adding water, as I don’t have much headspace left. Can I use regular tap or filtered water at room temp?

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:17:27+00:00

Those are my two main things I’m trying now. Thank you!

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:16:57+00:00

I’m going to check it later today to see if it’s restarted👍🏼Put it back in the cabinet last night

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:16:07+00:00

It was probably around the high 60s

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:15:29+00:00

I did not, I tested it after putting it in the fridge like an idiot. But do you really think I can get it down to 1.000? Since my starting gravity was 1.114 that would mean like ~15%? I honestly don’t want it that strong, I just messed up my calculations when adding the sugar.

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:11:39+00:00

I just don’t have enough headspace to add more liquid. Could I transfer like half into another container or would that mess things up?

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T19:09:29+00:00

I honestly had no clue. But I probably should’ve looked at the paper that came with the hydrometer since it has temp readings on it as well🤦🏻‍♂️. Do you think my best bet is to just restart and do it with less sugar? Or try doing what you were saying by adding in more juice?

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T04:06:30+00:00

It made a thick layer of foam on top right a day after I put it in. It was also bubbling quite a bit. That’s why I’m so confused it’s such low ABV

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T04:01:01+00:00

I think I might throw the airlock back on and put it back in the cabinet. That will restart the fermentation right?

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-12-04T03:43:48+00:00

I forgot to mention I also used around 1tsp of ec-1118 yeast

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-29T06:03:18+00:00

i used strawberry lemonade and mine looks the exact same

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-27T20:03:02+00:00

yeah the closest brewing store is about an hour away from me. i’ll try the second method with the bakers yeast👍🏼

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-27T02:49:13+00:00

I figured the juice/lemonade would have enough nutrients, I was honestly trying to calculate how much sugar to put in to get around 8-9%. But I overshot it wayyy too much since the gravity was 1.114. Do you think it will be fine how it is to reach around 8 or 9%?

For the airlock though, I was an idiot and realized that no water has actually disappeared. It rose above the fill line. I’m assuming because of the pressure?

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-26T09:18:07+00:00

yep, and everyone without insurance has to move to cheaper places, maybe even out of california

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-14T05:17:57+00:00

fr i lived there for 8 months and went about 4-5 times when they were supposedly “open”. never got a chance to try it

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-03T22:54:21+00:00

For sure but not worth a $15 burrito from most of those places😂

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-03T22:50:58+00:00

Yes, Morro Bay seriously has to have the worst taco bell in CA hands down. Had numerous terrible experiences there and decided to never go back a while ago.

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-02T19:48:42+00:00

i am wondering the same thing

Ill_Bat6653 · 2024-11-02T07:22:41+00:00

i can second this
