I don't have extra water in mine, it's mixed to a thicker consistency. After I scoop the feed out for the day, I add more dry and some water (back slop). I check it when I get home and adjust with more feed or water as needed, by morning it's ready to feed out again. If you go away (vacation)...

Their probably saying that as, if your bag gets wet and feed gets damp, it could spoil and get moldy. That's different then fermenting.

You don't have to end a batch or dry it out. If your gonna be away for a week, just cover what you have left and put it in the refrigerator. When you get home take it out and start it up again. The cold temp slows the fermentation way down. Why does your house smell like beer? How big is...

I think the aquarium heater would turn off, before it would heat the whole bucket up. Are you trying to ferment in your shop?

Yes definitely! When i bought a new bag on Saturday, I said something to them about the bag I had, with the feed color not being the same and my chickens weren't eating it like usual. They said bring it back and we'll make it right.(I had about a half bag left) I did take a sample of the new...

I took my bag of feed, back to TSC today and got a replacement. There is a big difference in the color of the FF. The dark color is what it should be. I use Dumor Starter/Grower, either the wrong bags were used or they forgot an ingredient, on this batch. I should get 5-7 eggs again, instead of...

Is your feed back to the same color as before?

@aart I have the same issue with Dumor Starter/Grower. (Made by Purina) I bought this bag about 3 weeks ago and when fermenting, it is not as dark and my chickens don't finish it every day. The code on the seal band is: 7AUG30STA(2?) It looks like a 2 at the end. Since I started feeding this...

This is what I do whenever I go away. It holds it at the stage, where you put it in the fridge. I read that tip, way back in this thread.

This is exactly how I have been doing my FF. I never have mold, only the white film sometimes, which is the mother, it is not mold. If this is what you are seeing, just stir it in. This only happens if I only stir it once a day. My glass jar does sit on our kitchen counter and the temperature is...

:goodpost: Yes, please try it and report back, how bad can it really be. Others have tried it and lived to tell about it.

This is what I use for FF feed. I made 2 key hole slots so I can hang it on screw heads on my coop wall. Easy on and off the wall. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/fortiflex-mf-2-mineral-feeder-2x175-qt-capacity-black?cm_vc=-10005

This is what I use for my FF. I just put a few big spoon fulls in each side. I wanted something that I could hang on my coop wall and could easily remove it, to clean and refill. I added the key hole slots, to make it easy to do. I got it at tractor supply...
