Just looking for some advice. I recently finished making a Bochet with DV10.
Used 10Kg of caramelized honey in 24L and feed with Fermaid O I believe 4 additions of around 9g each.
Fermentation seemed strong enough but quit at 1.044ish which is way too sweet for this guy. By my math that leaves me with about 11ish % abv and a remaining alcohol potential of around 6ish%.
Tried a re-start with EC 1118 following Lavlin protocol and there has been no additional fermentation in a week.
So I am considering a couple options.
1) Start another traditional must and blend in the Bochet in hopes of restarting fermentation.
2) Make a very dry traditional of around 8ish% and blend.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
This is my first couple batches with Fermaid O and my first ever Bochet.
Is it normal for Bochet to leave this much residual sugar?
I made a sack mead with DV 10 and Dap/Fermaid K and it took 11.5kg of honey in 24 L down to 1.00 and did so fairly easily.
Any other suggestions on taking the sweetness?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
