Hello there, did my first attempt at mead tonight and of course I screwed something up. I forgot to add the yeast nutrient, I realized it right after I put the airlock on so I quickly put a teaspoon of it in. Am I screwed or is everything gonna be ok. I'm so nervous about it I appreciate any and all help!

It's a 1 gallon, technically melomel because I added some organic blackberry juice.

You'll be fine. Make sure to shake a little to get it mixed in.

Looks good

Keep an eye on that air lock and head space though. During active fermentation, it may foam over.

Should ferment out fast, bluebbery juice full of nutrients. I have batch of bluberry mead aging, its wonderful. What yeast did you used?

Actually, just checked and it is already getting in the airlock

If it too much foam and trying to push out thru your airlock you just siphon it out a bit and seal back the airlock that will be fine.

Just open your jug and siphon it out until it has enough head space.
If the must is already blended with the water in the airlock you should wash it and refill the water in the airlock.
