We are supposed to get our chicks tomorrow.. 7 of them. I started my first batch of fermented feed today and I think I made WAY too much for just a few chicks! I made 1/3 of a 5-gal bucket. So my question is, should I wait the 3-4 days for the initial ferment to be complete and then refrigerate a bunch of it? I know technically you can probably leave it out for awhile but I'm keeping it inside due to cold temps and don't want it to get too smelly.
I'm using the "backslopping" method if that helps. The plan is to do an initial 3-4 day ferment and then after that just keep mixing in new feed/water every few days.
