Notes
6/23/2023 - "Brew" Day - Heated 2 gallons of carbon-filtered water & 4lbs of dextrose (corn sugar) to a boil. Boiled for 5 minutes, turned off the heat and added 2 tsp DAP yeast nutrient, 2 tsp Yeast Energizer, and 2 TB Lemon Juice. Chilled in the sink in a water bath until temp was around 85 degrees. Poured into a sanitized fermenter, topped up with cold carbon-filtered water to reach 5 gallons & added yeast. Mixed and aerated with mix-n-stir for a couple mintes. Set the lid on top with airlock, but don't seal yet. Aerate the seltzer once or twice a day for the first 5-6 days of fermentation to help things get started and degas. After that, seal the lid and fill the airlock with alcohol.
NOTE: I also added a pack of Safale F-2 that I had in the fridge, since the CBC-1 was a little old. F-2 is also a secondary ferment yeast, so it should work fine in a seltzer.
?/?/? - Transfer to Secondary - Add 1.5 TB Activated Carbon Powder to fermenter & transfer on top. Use Mix-N-Stir to mix and degas seltzer before putting in airlock.
**Filter through carbon filter between kegs to remove additional aroma & flavors
