Hi,
I made up a brew close to this Recipe and macs method
Using 60l fermenter barrel
40 l total wash
3.5kg raw sugar
3 litres molasses
Level teaspoon of fermade - dap etc
Lowans bakers yeast 90 GSM
Pitched lowans bakers yeast at 35 degrees after putting wash outside in 2 deg C to get it cool
Waited for the violent action nothing really. Put cap on after 8 hours- with airlock. Vigorous bubbling in airlock for 36 hours
Then quiet , no bubbles. Wrapped in blanket and it stayed around 28deg for 24-36 hours. Looks like flat coke.
OSG was 1.066
SG now is 1.014
Tastes molassesy, not sweet. Smells a bit dry and like alcohol. Thought it may be stuck so put 15 grams of Elvin 118 in a 50 brew 50 water big glass and it's not frothing so I suspect it's finished , but seems way to short. 36 hours?
Does this seem correct or is there a major problem.???
