Started fermenting again

So I ran a wash for around 5 days, it settled, I added the TURBO CLEAR A and B. Didn't get a chance to run the still for a couple of days then the breather started bubbling again, the silly thing started fermenting again.

Waited for it to settle a bit then added another TURBO CLEAR A and B and it's firing up again.

What is going on? I've been doing this for a few years now so I know what I'm doing but never had this happen before.

You sure its fermenting again and is not the co2 escaping?

:text-+1: to what big rig said.

It sounds like the clear may be creating co2 mate. I have never used the clearing agents so can’t be sure. Take a reading and if it is the same in a couple of days you know it is done.

You could even do what is old farts do and stick your finger in it and taste it. If it tastes a little bitter you know it is done, and if it is not sticky you know it is done.

Not very scientific but always reliable as if you loose 1 finger you still have a few more to choose from :laughing-rolling:
