well done mate! any blisters from all that fruiting?
if you're not conducting your primary ferment in the bucket..I'd rack it to demijohn without disturbing it otherwise you're demijohn will froth over through the airlock for the first week...
you could ferment for a few days in the bucket itself until its calmed down a bit before racking to the demijohns..just need to keep a damp cloth over it to keep the nasties out and then you can stir daily..
for reference.i had a clean juice after juicing and straining and put it direct into the demijohn...its still going ballistic but isn't frothing..id got any apple sediment in there it'd be a mess ! (cleaner juice in demijohn also means more left to drink after final racking...and/or less watering down when topping up after racking)
parsnip wine just started in a demijohn today..
No blisters, but I learned a lot about simplifying the process to speed it up. More buckets is the answer.....
ReplyDeleteIf you want some juice, I'm going to have more than I need.
