Been racked for approx 6 or so months. Used lalvin champagne yeast. Not that much headspace during ferment etc, I noticed it while racking.

Like the thread title I'm rack 5 gallons of mead, noticed there's a 2-3 inch layer I guess which is whiteish/opaque that's thready from top down. Then the mead is clear until the yeast cake. Any ideas?

Safales-04 for one batch and a lalvin champagne yeast for the other. Both have barely cleared

How long should I leave in the primary then to get rid if this?

My location? In Alberta you mean? Thanks for the reply! I just found it odd my one mead tasted entirely different than the other with only 2 ish weeks difference in age.

And no there's no apples in it ;). It's very young - 2 weeks maybe. Is this a similar thing to homemade beer that's "green"? Also how long does mead take to clear? I have another simple mead going on near 2 months and it's nearly like day 1

Dang......

Anyone?

SO I just received a vino Europa double plus merlot Cabernet Sauvignon kit that has been in his possession for 2+ years. Kit is like new. Any worries in making it?

Thanks yooper!!!

No one???

Ow often do some of you members here degass your mead, apfelwein and wine?

Cool thanks!

I have no intention on boosting abv. Just seeing if there are any nifty member proven tips to make it better (if it needs it)

Any way to balance that alcohol out?

Dang. Ah well!

So if I told you that my wife made a batch of apfelwein with 5 lbs sugar instead if 2 - our scale is in kilos not pounds which she did not know, how nasty will this taste?

Good enough for me! I have rules for whom i trust. Family, good friends and Internet gurus with funny names that have a billion posts! Thanks yet again yooper!

So my wife was out at the LHBS to pick me up a bit of supplies and bought "a great deal". Its a Cru Orchard Breezin Pina Colada wine. Regular 45$ on sale for 20$ It says on the box (working right now so I dont have the instructions) that its ready in 4 weeks. Im not willing to test that...

24,734+5 = 24739. My first batch. Woot!
