Hi all,
Just put my first batch of skeeter pee to go, I’m very excited. I have read many good things about it.
One small question, I’m still pretty new to all of this and can’t seem to find any information on this. For those of you familiar with the skeeter pee recipe, it advises to vigorously whisk the must occasionally and let it “air out” for about 24 hours (even before adding your slurry or yeast starter), for the purpose of somehow aerating the sulfites out of the commercial lemon juice.
For anybody who knows, is this practice of aerating out the sulfites evidence based, or just voodoo? I don’t at all doubt that it works, I just had no idea the sulfites were that volatile. This may be very common knowledge. Thanks, just curious!
