Day 7 of the Fermented Suint Project came. I took out the white fleece. It was soo clean! It still had some yellowinq so I did try a hot wash with Ecos on a few locks. No real chanqe. Carded its lovely anyhow - a nice cream.
I added a chocolate Icelandic on the 18th.. Today when I checked the ‘vat’ it was very obvious that I have fermentation! There is a very thin layer of white scum and the mixtures stinks badly. This is in spite of our coldest temperature since I started the fsm on the 11th of March.The 18th it was 11 with a low of 1. The 19th was 8 C ( approx 45 F) and 0 ( 32 F) Yesterday was 10.5 C and 0 overnight. I am really surprised and happy that this worked even in the colder temps. It was cloudy a good portion of this time too so not a lot of solar warmth.
I took out some of the icelandic - cold it has flecks of lanolin in it.Once I did a quick wash /rinse to get rid of the smell, I dried it over my heater and voila. Perfect. Tomorrow I will pull the rest and rinse it outside in cold water. As long as it stays dry out I will be drying it outside too, just in case it smells. I'm so happy to be doing processing with so much less water plus not needing to use the hot water or soap is awesome. My pictures don't do this justice.
