It is fri night, have had the wobblyboot on for few hrs now :teasing-tease: :happy-partydance:

hmmm all 12 fermenters fizzing away nicely.... tho only 6 are 5 weeks old...

:obscene-drinkingdrunk:

4 days into a 25l bwko and still bubbling constantly....just put a 2nd gen macrum on, will see how long that takes :-B

Bwko finished couple days ago and ready to run today. Yeast hasn't seemed any slower. U have other problem with yours, temp, ph, u keep yeast in fridge? Maybe it got too hot at some stage. Someone else can jump in and say how to test some to see if your yeast is still active? Bit early after a big sat night to think too much :obscene-drinkingchug:

You ever figure out why it went slow? Just ordered some safspirit and some grain :handgestures-thumbupleft: gunna give warras all grain recipe a go..

nope... 2 have finished... but 10 are still audibly fizzing...

My bwko took ages with bakers yeast 14-18 days all others wash I've done are 3-7 maybe it's the water (probably not water or would all be slow):think: or something on the grain. Do you just use cracked corn? Maybe something on the grain..

I have found this yeast fairly slow in rum and sugarhead whisky, just put down AG whisky with this last night and it is hammering :D

What abv do you aim for sames as mac 8%?
