too much brown sugar in Fish Amino Acid (hydrolysate)

in the Fish Amino Acid recipe it called for a third of the weight in Organic brown sugar. I used a 1/3 of 28 nine ounces rather than a 1/3 of 16 which would be five ounces. Anyways from the pictures I have seen, they done look anything like this. It doesn’t smell bad though, just cream cheese and fermentation.

One last question I was told to added organic brown sugar to my ffj so it will keep in the fridge. I didn’t think through it and I added the brown sugar and now it’s sitting on the bottom of the jar and not mixed. Is it salvageable? What should I do?

Thank y’all

I think you will be fine, it may not have fermented in the same time frame but it should do. You could balance it off with more fish and let it go back to fermenting, or just roll with it and compare it to the next batch.

Can I use as is or do I need to filter fragments. The fragments are pretty small too. What kind of material should I use, cheese cloth?

I wouldn't go to that extreme. I would skim off the liquid into your holding vessel then dig a trench in my soil around the stalk and bury fragments. No need to waste a cheescloth.

I checked it today and it’s pretty fucking thick, like pancake batter. I might just throw it out and start over

Hey I read that fermented fruit juice is only god for like 7 days?

The fish or the juice?
I assume the fish. Do you have an outdoor garden that you can feed? I would bury that and plant a pumpkin if you do.

old thread but I would guess the liquid can only absorb so much sugar - so maybe put too much sugar in. but just put the sugar residue in the soil
i think I ended throwing it out. I made another ferment a month after that, that I still use. I read somewhere FAA is good up to a year but mine is 3 yrs old and still works great. I’m getting very low and am looking forward to the next batch.
