Does fermentation time affect alcohol content? |
I want to make mead and have already made my must. I am wondering if it will continue to get stronger after the fermentation is done. In other words, will it continue to get stronger even after the yeast is done bubbling? Keep in mind, you can add more yeast, if there is still residual sugar left in the must. Nope. Fermentation is the yeast eating sugar and turning into alcohol. Once all the sugar that the yeast can eat is gone, that is as strong as it gets. Once the sugars from the honey are gone or the yeast are all deceased, no more fermentation will occur; unless there is some sort of infectional bacteria taking over. After primary fermentation the yeast still have some light work they will be doing. This is call conditioning the beer. 1st they eat all the good stuff which is the easy sugars this is the primary fermentation. When all that is done they will eat other stuff, this is the secondary fermentation also call conditioning, sometimes called lagering. It doesn't make the beer much stronger but it makes it taste smoother and cleaner. I'm with these fellas, except: yea you can distill it further which kills off the yeast and increases the percentage of alcohol. Might begin to take on a different taste and texture though |
