We could not decide how long to leave things in the primary. So we decided to let the board help us out. Please vote to let us know.

Thanks!

It takes however long it takes- so I didn't vote. I like to rack when the SG is 1.020-1.010 or so.

Interesting experiment- thanks for letting us see the pictures!

I'm not a chocolate fan, but I do like mead, so I love seeing the photos. Thanks.

Agreed, we hope to not pre-maturely rack the mead But we have heard/read many different ideas for how long to leave everything in the primary. We are thinking we will go with the vote, a kind of community mead experiment.

Taking readings from 1 gal jugs is going to be a little tough, but we are going to figure it out.

Then comes the secondary poll...

Merry Christmas!

Everything is still the same, except 31 ( 24oz Hershey Chocolate syrup) Looks like there is a build-up on top and we have slight action in the airlock!

Thanks, It started here http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/small-batch-question-75799/ It is a great way to play and discover. And hopefully if you find one you like, multiply by 5 and get a full batch. I would love to do this with beers as well, I believe the guys a BasicBrewing have done quite a few 1 gal batches. I think it is the base malt experiment.

Looks like 34 ( 6oz by weight, Hershey dark coco powder) and his buddy, (36 6oz by weight Hershey unsweetened coco powder) are done with their time out. They are still fermenting away and have re-joined the rest of the family.


Here is a Video of the fermentation.
