Got my 5 gallons in the fermenter. Only have 12 pounds honey in there now im going to add the other three later. I dissolved the honey with a few quarts of cold water and heated to around 145 while I rinsed the carboy. I didnt heat up my nutrient at all just added it in, was that alright?

For a label, I was thinking of incorporating this image. Since this is the year of the rat, and 2012 will be the year of the dragon, I thought it was a cool theme to work with. Not sure if it would be anybody's style, but I thought something zodiac oriented would be cool. This is one of the first images I found that worked on its on, added some text, but I still don't know how to use Freehand yet.

Nice art work. With 5-6 gallons I can use a few different labels!

YEA! We have airlock activity! Started slow...had a burb every minute or so up to about 2 hours ago...now she is burping away 2-3 every couple seconds...
-Will
ps...nice label...maybe we should design an official one...but leave a blank spot for the individual brewer and ABV.

My air lock is bubbling at the rate of gunfire in an Al Capone Movie!

Rehydrate?

Did you Re-hydrate your yeast? I forgot on my Apfelwein, and it took like 3 days to get going...I dumped my yeast on about 8 oz of warm water for this mead, and it was less than 12 hours before it was going strong.
