Same As

Postby Jaggie » Fri May 01, 2015 12:03 pm

ok heres a weird fermentation Started two Lentil washes same amount of sugar/Lentils PH on both 5.2 same containers/ immersion heaters set the same temp. Same yeast hand full of raisins. When i say everything the same i really mean the same. First one started 17th this one is .998. Second one started on the 24th is lower .992. I used the same method aerated both before pitching yeast.
I think the Fermentation fairies are having a laugh

@ Jaggie: A little fluctuation is not an issue. Both final readings are acceptable. I would ask however - What was the temperature of each? If not the same, that could be your answer.

Are they both finished. The over may yet catch up. But like RJ said both good figures.

You gonna have to chill there dude.

There are some serious industry chemists that can't yet completely explain the inner workings of fermentation.
