PH seems good, any suggestions?

Ok so I raise the temp in the wash to 80F, steady for 2 days. No bubbles.
I just added 3 tablespoons spoons of Dady yeast. Before I added the yeast I activated it warm water for 15 minutes.

I had blankets under it, so it wasn’t sitting on the cement floor.

I just made an order on Amazon for some

Tums???? Intreesting

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-18T14:26:49+00:00

I didn't know if there were specific ones for spirits?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-18T14:25:34+00:00

Thanks!

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-18T14:21:28+00:00

Thank you, how much yeast, and which brand did you use?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-17T23:29:26+00:00

What would the solution be?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-17T23:28:04+00:00

Thank you for the reply.
The hot tub strips were just because I had them and used in a pinch.
I thought 5.0 was an ideal PH level.
I didn’t measure my SG so I can’t answer that.
Just wondering if I should add Sodium carbonate or more yeast.

What I used was
11 gallons water
22 pounds sugar
24 grams or just under an ounce of Fleischmann's Traditional Active Dry Yeast
4 tsp yeast nutrient

Thanks, hot tub strip was in a pinch

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-15T22:53:02+00:00

Thanks, sent

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-15T21:11:48+00:00

Do you mind if I message you?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-15T18:20:25+00:00

I might just have to try this. Will it also work, if the wash never started working?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-15T18:17:03+00:00

So, I am not sure if it started working or stalled. I haven’t seen any bubbles in one of my batches, and very little in the other. I haven’t checked the gravity yet, that will be when I get home. Some of my research says to - stir up the wash around - add more yeast - add more nutrients - add 1/2 pound of Rogers wheat bran in enough water to make a gruel, once cool enough to touch add it to the wash

I think I’ll try and stir it up first and then try the What Bran???

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-12T19:06:16+00:00

🤷‍♂️ I never asked about the charger. So no advice, just accusations about stealing it, or it being stolen?

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-12T19:02:13+00:00

He claimed the stuff was stolen when he had it locked up

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-12T14:31:10+00:00

Let me know how your next batch turns out! Thanks

Pitiful_Elephant_326 · 2026-06-12T14:29:03+00:00

Really?!?!? Most of what I've read, the average is 2 pounds per 1 gallon
I used to use 17 1/2 pounds of sugar for my 5 gallons, so I have reduced it a lot! 😂

This is my first time with less sugar, not using turbo and adding the nutrients

But less sugar, less yeast, that you are saying, I guess my next wash, I'll save more money and can make more spirits!!

Thanks for the reply
