I checked their website and it may be the combination of using cane juice instead of molasses and their "secret" yeast plus how they ferment it.

Ive been doing a MacRum Recipie but having to re pitch the yeast to get the fermet active again each time.
I know that this is not the usual done thing but it wont kick off once ive put everything back in.
My Method completed:
-added 15L of hot backset into a fresh fermenter
-Added 6L Stockfeed Molasses, 6KG Raw sugar, 5L water and mixed it all up to combine
-Temp was 38-40 Degrees
-Added DAP and Epsomsalts
-Added 7L slops from old Macrum Ferment and topped up with water to get to 50L
-PH was 4.8
5 Hours later no action...
I then hydrated and pitched 80Grams of Lowans and BANG shes off again.
Any advice why the generation is not kicking off itself without the added need for the re pitching of Yeast?
THanks to all in advance
