I have a quadberry going. I mixed it on 3/2 and pitched the yeast (montrachet active dry wine ) the next day. On day 7 with the SG at 0.993 I racked to a carboy. Day 9 dosed with Kmeta and Sorbate. Degassed some and treated with egg whites. On day 11 it is still fizzing though much less. I would have thought it would have stopped. I would have thought the Sorbate would have stopped it in its tracks. Not really a big deal I was just wondering if this particular fruit blend was extra gasseous or,,,
Quadberry neverending fermintation.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
What's your SG - still .993? It may just be residual gas being released.
think thats it. after reading ther dragonsblood post from yesterday I think I just have a really gassy batch. Could be the yeast right? I think this type is particularly aggressive. I'll give it the rest of the week. Rack again. Then Degass for a while.
Quadberry??? I could search and look but figured I'd just ask.... 4 berries? I have a mixed berry as I call it that is Straw/Black/Blue/Rasp (berry). Same thing just different?
I think someone else named it on another thread. It is using a bag from WalMart of Strawberry, Pinnapple, Mango, Peach. One additional can of peaches. Bannannas.
I have attached my log on how I made it. It is still clearing.

Interesting sounding mix. Might have to give something like that a try.
Just bottled up a Mango/Blueberry Strawberry mix and it is interesting. Mango hangs in there long after the sip is gone. I'm calling it Mango Tango.. Now we wait....see how it ages.

This is more of what Dave calls Blue Macaw. It is a tropical version of DB. Not sure how that Montrachet will react with this batch. Recipe calls for EC-1118, so that is all I have ever used with it.
yea the montrachet went strong, created alot of gas. I just had it laying around. D47 would probably be a better mix or the EC 1118.
I think it has stopped and getting degassed. clearing now and hope to bottle it soon
