Home brew!

Very happy – the 2nd fermenter has been going off its nut all day, it’s blown the contents of the airlock out twice.  Not bad for 3 days from pitching.

 

The first batch at just over 5 days from pitching has hit 985 SG and is no longer gassing, so I’ve degassed it (nothing) and done the first stage of fining about an hour ago, off to do the second stage now.  Distillation tomorrow night!

 

Little bastard fish have eaten the entire skin off 2 hunks of zucchini, but not the flesh.  If they don’t chow down on the core by tomorrow morning it’s coming out.  Tank continues to lighten but slower now, I may need to change the filters entirely to scrub the last of the particulate carbon.  The peppermint bristlenose catfish are lightening to a chocolate colour with milk coffee spots as they grow, which is apparently their normal colour.  One albino is growing much quicker than the other.

 

The idiot and increasingly irrelevant CEPU called a spot walkout at work this afternoon, precisely ZERO staff walked off the job.  Supposed to go until COB Thursday, we’ll see how many are there tomorrow.  I think the CEPU are quaking in their boots.  I would be in their position.
