Well, ran my 1st test batch using 18lbs of dark brown sugar
and the 8KG Turbo yeast for a 25L batch. Used a vapor lock. Now, on Gert Strands FAQ section he says there is no-way
to jump start a stalled fermentation process. I mixed in the Turbo sachet and closed the lid. Bubbled for about 1
minute then stopped. Needless to say I was a little po'd. After hours of still nothing I decided to mix in some Ethanol
Red yeast I had since the Turbo has nutrients. Figured I had nothing to lose. Well, that was yesterday and it hasn't
stopped bubbling vigorously and continuously since.
