doing two vats - Cedar Creek juice + EC-1118 & 71B

[wareemba]

so i got 20L of the bottled Cedar Creek juice from Harris Farm,

put 10L in each fermenter and added 10g of EC-1118 to one and 10g of 71b to the other...

so far (3 days) the EC has got a nice foam, but the 71B has only got nice bubbles.

i lost my air-lock thingys, so using glad wrap and masking tape instead...

just bottled both batches,

added 70g of white sugar per each 10L

hoping for some bubbles but not too hectic.

both batches looked and smelled very similar, but notably the 71B smelled slightly sulfur like when i opened the fermenter. (but perhaps the lid was a better seal?)

both trub looked almost identical... the EC1118 had smaller pinholes if i could say anything?

finishing gravity was a touch under 1.0000 for both.

now we wait...
