Yes I was referring to Potassium sorbate. For some reason I got side tracked when writing. At the time I thought once there was no activity in the airlock that it was done. Now I know this isn't true. Just put back in a carboy to finish. Thanks for the help.

Does this mean it is still fermenting. There was pressure when I opened up the bottle. This is my first brew I have ever done. Should I add potassium to stop the fermenting if this is what it is.

Is there anything I can do now to fix it?

Just bottled my first batch of mead. It has been in a bottle since the 21st of sept. It now has yeast on the bottom of the bottle. All I did was go from secondary to the bottle. Did I miss something?

How long did it take to start bubbling. I added 1 1/2lb of sugar. This is my first batch of applejack. Hope it turns out good.

I always wanted to get into home brewing. I just started a batch of mead last night. I see people talk about tasting before and after. Do I taste when I go to bottle it or when it goes to secondary. Looks like I will be getting into trouble trying different things.
