So I'd like to take my mead in checked luggage in 12 days. My mead is now at a density of 1.005 ~ 12.8% ABV. In the last few days, it's been going at the same speed post 12% as before reaching 12%, so it isn't done yet despite the fact that it's Wyeast's "Sweet Mead" yeast with a supposed...

I read the optimal pH level is between "3.7 and 4.6" (http://www.stormthecastle.com/mead/checking-ph-of-your-mead.htm). Is thart what you usually have? And how much nutrients would you recommend? I've now added one teaspoon of "Wyeast Beer Nutrient Blend" to each batch, stirred them good for...

So it's been fermenting for nine days and these are the readings I got, using a hydrometer in a glass cylinder: My hydrometer's scale looks like this: http://www.allafrance.com/products/images/IMG_CATALOGUE/200-100-1_FRG.jpg (It's called "Wine hydrometer" from the brand "Alla France".) First...

Oh, can I ask you one more question? This isn't urgent at all however: I chose to fill my bathtub with about 30 litres of water, enough to submerge all my tools into it. I then applied the recommended dose of Star San. I didn't just submerge and wash the equipment before usage, but I used this...

Ok, thank you! I'll aim at 3,6 gallons/(gallons of resulting must), which is what I had originally! :)

Wait, I believe you were right? "9.5 liters including the honey. the recipe itself only lists 7 and a half liters of water which is 2 gallons" That is perfectly correct, unless I was right in the first place and the honey admixture is supposed to be lbs/(gallons of resulting must) INSTEAD of...

Thank you, I'll check it out! :) We need a definition here - is it supposed to be like 3lbs/(gallons of water) or 3lbs/(gallons of resulting must)? I'm supposing it'd be the former, that'd be my bad (I accidentally defined it as the latter), so if we correct that, that means I currently have 4...

Damnit, double post, sorry!

Hey, I'm going to try my best at it tomorrow. Here's my plan, please check so I've gotten it all right: Recipe, 9,5 litres total: 7,5 litres of tap water 4 kg of locally produced honey, unknown/mixed plant origin Wyeast Nutrient Blend: The amount listed on the package - for 9,5 litres...

Thank you very much for the elaborate and quick reply :) I messed up the third "paragraph" (my fault, corrected now) (the one starting with "I have ordered...") so if you could read that again it'd be much appreciated! Willl try that nutrient recipe, but with the commercial one from Wyeast...

Please see my latest post, #6. ------------------------------------ Earlier post Does anyone have any experience of the Wyeast mead yeast? Apparently, you have to sort of crack open the inner bag, shake it and let it swell. Then you pour it directly into the must. Please check so I've gotten...
