I wouldn’t call that a ‘modern’ home brew. There are a few issues from a quick view:
- Sanitize everything
- take OG readings
- Don’t use wood. Stainless or plastic are better *<=edit for clarity *
- Sanitize everything
- stagger the nutrients if you can
- 4 days on the fruit may not enough
- take SG readings
- use a syphon
- Sanitize everything
- don’t use muslin
- vodka is better than water in the airlock
- take FG readings
- use an auto-syphon - don’t put your dirty lips all over the syphon
- Sanitize everything
One last point that I didn’t mention above but is very important, Sanitize Everything
PS I make meads and one of my favorite is a Feijoa mead
Feijoa is one of my fav fruits, so I can only imagine this is good. Thanks for sharing.
