joam with lalvin 71b.. clear in 1 month?
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 3:07 am
did a 2 gallon batch of slightly modified 'joam'... added some sacrificial yeast and a centrum vitamin at the start just because.
used lalvin 71b yeast, rehydrated- and fermented around 70-72f.
almost one month later it is clear as a bell. fruit still floating. the yeast just ripped through the honey.
if it's clear is it done? in only a month?
i'll probably give it a few more weeks then rack to glass and age it a little more. I just find it odd that this batch was crystal clear in a month where my first batch took the full 2 using Fleischman's yeast. lalvin must be more aggressive munchers.
