After 2 days of lacto fermentation I boiled for 1 hour. Before boiling I added 2 quarts to the 14 to bring up to 16 qts. I needed to boil down to 12 qts because of pilsner and the need to no chill because I have a mead fermenting at 62F.
Added 10g of EKG at 30 minutes. |

Racked to keg, left in 12 PSI continually after initial overnight at 30 PSI
Still 1.010. This indicates that additional sugar from raspberries was consumed and 1.010 is my lowest possible gravity based on mash temp. |
