If you made that in only a 25 L fermenter, the meal will take up a lot of room. Not enough water for 15# of sugar. Probably only 4 or 5 actual gallons of water. Thats going to be a lot of struggle for the yeast. Also, the meal is going to add a lot of extra nuetrients. A half pack of turbo would have been better. Would be fine if you used a bigger fermenter though????"

"Yep, you did not mention how much water.
I'd say split into 2 fermenters then bring up to volume with water.
Igloo water cooler or the like make a fine fermenter. Throw a rag over the top.
layer of Co2 will protect your wash."
