Making skeeter pee similar to the recipe on the skeeter pee website. However, I didn't have a slurry so I made a strong starter from a gallon of water, two cups sugar, my yeast and a 24 hour wait. Anyway, I read somewhere that if you are doing it this way, you shouldn't use the airlock for a while because it will help provide more oxygen. So after making my starter, I continued the recipe (adding lemon juice, inverted sugar, tannin, yeast nutrient and yeast energizer). I took readings each day as I stirred the mixture and the readings have been as follows each day...
Day 1: SG - 1.052
Day 2: 1.040
Day 3: 1.032
Day 4: 1.030
Day 5: 1.022
Day 6: 1.016
During all this time, I have had the lid on my plastic carboy. However, this morning I put the airlock back on because I figured it had reached low enough to the point where it would continue. I was curious on when the airlock should go back on? Did I time it right? Is it even necessary next time? Thanks for any advice.
