That's why I don't go on cruises--the bar bill would kill me. You should try an all inclusive resort. Everything is included, even all the alcohol you can drink. Last one we went to I had really good champange with every meal.

Hi Cap,
Still bubbling along when I was in the shop last night although very slowly. I was hoping they would be done and clear so I could run them this weekend. I'll wait until they are ready. I think my initial problems were rehydrating the turbo and then doing it at to high a temp. This killed of the majority of the yeast and it took a while for the yeast to reproduce enough to work. It is day 10 for the 2 buckets and I think they are just about done. I'll do another update just before I run them.

Hi all,
Just wanted to give an update. When I checked yesterday the ferment had finally finished. Took an sg reading and both buckets were at .990. I'll give it some time to clear and then run it in the PS2HC. Not sure if this is normal or not as this is my first ferment but it looks like what is left of the tomatoe paste is floating on the top. Do I just skim this off or will it settle to the bottom?
Thanks, Maddawgs

I skim it, then siphon down until I get to the yeast bed
