Hi everyone!

I am just starting up and after reading for a while I decided to jump in. I am obviously starting up with a JAO 1 gallon batch but there is just a little problem ... My first language is french and in my haste to start I kinda made a mistake. You see raisin in french means grape ... however the english word raisins mean dry grape. So I kinda made my batch using 20ish green fresh grape instead of the dried ones =P

I am on my 4th day and will soon top off my jar with water. What should I do? Keep it as is or add some raisins with the water?

I just don't want to mess up the un-messable recipe, otherwise I would have to stop brewing! Joe said so in his post! =*(

Thanks!
 
Quelle horreur! ;) Je suis Canadien, mais je suis d'Ontario, so my French est awful. Grapes over raisins will mean water over sugar. The nitrogen contribution should be about the same, per object - 20 grapes vs. 20 (english) raisins. Raisins, however, don't add *that* much to the finished product, based on current Accepted Wisdom, so my suggestion is to Let It Go (silence, Elsa!) and let us know how it goes.

Most likely, vous etes bon! Le JAOM etre bien!

(ma derniere classe de Francais was 25 years ago, and is pretty damned fuzzy by now)
 
Merci Curgoth! Thanks for these words and don't worry, french is a pain in the arse to learn and if you don't speak or write often it goes bad pretty quick so no worries. Will let you guys know in 4-5 weeks how it turned out!
