Greetings!
So the missus gave a "go ahead", and now I am on second 5gal batch of cheap bum-wine with higher hopes than the first.
First one was FrznAppleJuiceConc. 14 cans + 4lb table sugar dissolved in boiling water then fermented w/ EC1118. and I should have just been happy with that result.
Second (current) batch is Cranberry blend w/ FAJC. 1:1 ratio and 20 cans Each. going for 3lb sugar/gallon all juice. Purchased a hydrometer after first flop. SG=1.135-1.140.
This one smells great and is really active. Temps are 23.5*C. I anticipate taking a taste and SG at the end of this week, that will be 7days fermenting.
*The airlock sounds like intro to "Hot for Teacher" hehe
