My third batch the liquid turn white like very watered down milk at around the third day within a few hours. The grains were larger in size and were floating up and down in the liquid a little. I am not surer what the white color is? The first two batches were very clear except the slight brownish color from the cane sugar. The is no increase in grain quantity still. But some have grown in size and are large and as i said float up and down in the liquid. i emptied the batch washed the grains in fresh spring water. I used wine sterilizing solution on the container and strainer etc then rinsed with spring water even tough this was a no rinse solution for wine and beer. My fourth batch is again turning white.
What am i doing wrong? i have carefully watched the sugar and water quantities and have started with a specific gravity of 1.062 to 1.065 that matches the water and sugar measurements by grams per instructions.Batch four started turning white in the top 1/3 of the container after about 30 hours. Now at 48 hours its mostly all white except bottom 1/4 of the liquid. The specific gravity has NOT changed at all so there has been no fermentation I assume? There are more grains this time floating up and down and some staying about 1" from the bottom suspended but nor more in quantity.
Suggestions please.Statistics: Posted by george969 — Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:00 am
