I can't seem to avoid getting so far what I think is an abnormal amount of methanol. I am no expert and was trying to do the following
- Take some cheap concentrate fruit punch like peach or grape punch
- Add some properly pitched lalvin 1118
- Add 5-7 teaspoons of white sugar /1L batches
- Seal it up as to force the yeast to break things down
- Temp steady at around 80F
note also I have been trying to culture more yeast without buying any more using a bit of sugar, water, and boiled potato juice add 175ml to
1L typically of this culture material warmed up from fridgeI get these occasional 'panicy rushy' feelings feel like irritated eyes, puffy, maybe a slight halo around lights.
Any notes on reduction of methanol
thinking
*Maybe ventilation of alcohol in end of fermentation may make some of the methanol evaporate(moreso as it has a lower boiling point) as the missing ethanol backfills in lower proportion. There may be a best trade-off to avoid production of fusils also... *Grape musts better than pectin musts. hear white grapes must be de-skinned
