Hi Peeps,
I have an agave syrup wash that has been fermenting for at least 6 weeks, last I did this wash it was done and dusted in a week, this time every time I think its done it comes alive again. I think it has to do with temp, when I notice its bubbling I heat it a little believing high twenties would be optimal, it comes to rest, I turn heaters off come back and wash is back at the low twenty's and now bubbling again. Last checked SG a couple of weeks ago and it still had a ways to go about 1.020-30, but this is getting ridiculous or is it?
I was going to run it today but go I go down to the shed and bugger me its bubbling away at a burp every 15 secs, tonight its about ever 20 secs. Maybe at long last it is coming to an end but it got me thinking;
What is the longest ferment anyone else has even experienced and how the hell can the same recipes vary in ferment time from one ferment to the other?
