I was going to clean out some jars of jelly that I got from my Moms after she passed away. The jelly was a few years old, darker than usual but still tasted good. Most of it was preserves or blackberry jam. Instead of dumping it, I put it in one of my fermentors, added water and yeast and set it in the closet. It has been in the jug for 6 days and all that it has done since day one is a slow fizz. I have a proof hydrometer but no mash hydrometer. How do I know if it is ready?

Not a lot of info to go on. I'm not sure what you will get from that wash but when it stops fizzing it's done.

5brothers, you're flying blind. Get a hydrometer.

If you still have a ""slow fizz"" it's probably still working. Certain yeast strains are like that -- you won't see much/any foaming. Sso just let it do its thing. In the meantime, visit your"
