There's a lot of sugars in there Sizzle. I usually let a mash like that go for 90 days so that the lacto have plenty of time to process the sugars and it gets just a touch of aging. JMHO though. 
 
Looks good :)

Yes you are right about the sugar content of this mash RM....I will most likely let it go for a long time....as well as my other mash that has a pound of strawberries in it...to make sure all the sugars get eatin up. :)
The jalapeno mash has taken right off over nite....tons of bubble action. :dance:
 
Thanks for all your helpful hints.

These are cut from what they call "Frog Matt"......food grade,non stick bbq screen....works great for holding the mash under the brine.

Thanks for the info. Do they flex at all so you can cut them to fit below the shoulder of the jar or is it pretty stiff?

Yes they are very flexable....I use two just for a little more stability.I then use a cheese cloth bag filled with marbles to hold the mesh down on to the mash....works outstanding.

Well guys and gals it has been 80 days...long enough ...time to finish this batch up.
The P.H was 3.17 right out of the jar....I cooked it for 15 minutes and the blended the crap out of it.....back into the pot and cooked 10 more minutes....I added cup of vinegar,cup and a half filtered water.1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum and 2 tablespoons Agave Syrup.....blened again .....back into the pot and brouht back up to a simmer and bottled......still only yielded 9 bottles from all the cooking.
Happy with the results...going to give it a week in a cool dark spot before giving it the real taste test.Here are a couple more pics of the finished product...The P.H. of the final product after cooking and the addition of other ingredients was...3.27
