Mine fermented out in around five days, usually takes around two weeks in the temps here. ran it yesterday, The yield and taste is the same as usual. So I've achieved faster ferment times, my goal :-).

That's encouraging all round, googe.

Mine finised out in 7 days...it's sat in the brewhouse waiting to be stripped. I did a 25lts sugar/kale wash strip yesterday...was hoping to strip this GS/kale today....but Mrs Ice wants to go caravan shopping..

I took delivery of another 3 x7.5 kgs bottles of GS last Wed....as long as I can buy GS at the price now, I'm sticking with it.

Day off today so I stripped this wash...WOW it smells wonderful..this is going to be number one slot for me.. I've popped the sugar/watercress in the ferm fridge to finish off...I must get t'other ferm fridge sorted...I'm up to lay another GS/Kale wash down tomorrow if possible....works got in the way..

Hi Icefever where did you get your GS from ?

Have 2 by 25ltrs Kale wash on the go,
its very slowly getting there,can'y wait
to get going on it.
Am deffo going to try your Kale& GS.
It seems to have sped up the fermentation
a lot by adding Kale juice.

Are you still using good old bakers yeast ?

Top of the list Here matey....send for 3 and you save on P&P.

It does smell great when it's fermenting....and smelled just as good when I stripped it yesterday....even Mrs Ice liked it..

As for yeast I used dried on that one...only reason was the bakers by us were closed when I did it.

Cheers Ice got 9.5ltrs of rum john's on wood
trying to keep my fingers off it!!!
Want to add to my collection.
Would you say the Kale has added to flavour,
or just speeded up ferm,(kale tastes like ST!£$)
you know what the dinner lady said "If you don't
eat your greens, you can't have your pud boy!!

Don't know about the taste at tbs moment, it has been one of the best wash's I've ever done. All I can suggest is have a go, if this turns out what I would like it to, I'm making loads more of it.
When I stripped it I did save about 500ml from the middle of the run, I'm going to have a sniffer tonight will let you know.

Hmmm.....this could make a good base for kraken.

Never tried Kraken....seen it on the shelf in the supermarket....may buy a bottle tomorrow on the way home just to try it.

Well I took what I collected from the middle...cut it with bottled water down to 40%....over ice it will be moreish...I added a teardrop of vanilla to one glass and it was very nice....I need to pop an oak strip into what's left... and see what comes from it.

God stuff.mate!. Might have to try the gs, can get it for ok price here, sounds yummy :-).

So Icefever was that just GS Kale & bakers
or any other adds vit cells etc.??
Do you think the Kale speeded the wash or
if poss kept it cleaner??
Resisted for a week, drew of 50mls to try
GS MMMHHHAAA !!
Had some BT rum in one of those ageing
bottles for 3 weeks (patience is a virtue)
and WOW!! colour flavour FANTASTIC !!
