I started fermenting yesterday Bissap (or carcardia tea infusion) with half a coffee spoon of bakers yeast and today I woke up and there is this kind of dry deposit at the top, I removed the bag to smell and I didn't smell like rotgut but a bit of an alcoholic smell, am I good? (sorry for the bad angles I don't have a phone)

Experiment Need help on adding dead yeasts into my hooch

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm making a hydromel around:

- around 3.5 liters total

- with a mix of plums and kiwi as the fruits.

- 600 grams of melted brown sugar

- 600 grams of fake honey (I thought it was real, but it's 90% glucose syrup...)

- The initial hydrometer reading is 1.120,

- I added 6 - 7 grams of bread yeast.

We're on the way for a nice 36 hours now. I wanted to boil some yeast and add it inside my batch as nutrients. I have no idea about the dosage. Could you guys help me how many grams of yeast I should boil and add to my batch? Thank you.
