yeah i can i was just more wondering if anybody has done this cold crashing thing and had any luck.Im worried my fermentation might kick back up a soon as the mead gets warm again.

my hydrometer reads 1.010 on the light side and my fermentation is going strong, i want to stop this so it doesnt finish to dry i do not care for dry mead that has to be backsweetened. I would like to kill it where it sits? I know to chill it re rack it onto sorbates or whatever else you choose...

Any suggestions on how to carbanate my mead, im open for suggestions, the 2/3 pf a cup for 5 gallon thing did not do much for me las go around so any suggestions please explain your process please..................cheers more beers.:mug:

Do you do something to kill the yeast or cold crash it or how do you stop it from fermenting more once you reach 1.020????:mug:

yeah 1.020 and it started bubbling again i think it just needed to get warm again. I did not add any nutrients im assumeing it will eat the rest of the sugars and work out just fine. just needs time, what do you recommend on the time limit of the second racking, i was going to let it sit for a...

2.0 on my hydrometor and how much nutrient do you think i should add, im new to the mead stuff but i drank a cup and i like it ill age it and call it good. but any advice helps thanksand it is not active visually at all no champagne bubbles inside the carboy and not even trying to bubble the...

heres a question i have a total must amount of 5 gallon 15 lbs of honey 1 packet of d-47 2.5 tsp of energier 2.5 tsp of nutrient stirred it heated it all that jazz It has been fermenting for 12 days in a 72degree room my hydro reading is 2.0 but it is not sweet at all and taste good...

i know your right i use such simple and plane ingredients and i keep my temps good so i feel comfortable without testing a bunch but yeah one day im sure the bubbles will get me.

I see thats pretty much what i do i just think you might be a little more patient than me ha ha. AS for the bubbles in the airlock not mattering i go back and forth, they go hand andn hand with fermenting and my test the bubbles start off fast and slowly die off just as my readings show the...

hello. From what i understand with mead you have your primary until yeast settles some in the bottom then rack into clean carboy and put the airlock back on, then do again and again until the yeast is done settleing and your fermantation is done. I am on my 3rd racking and there is no bubbling...

i amnot going to add fruit or back sweeten i just want plane old mead, another question i have is what do you think a good time to rack is i do not have any sedimen on the bottom or top so i dont see the point in racking into another carboy???? am i missing something?

good deal, you say add some sulfates? when is the best time to do that? and yes my mead taste hot at first taste the sweet at the end, pretty much like a spoon of corn liquer then a spoon of honey but i fugured after time if the flavors settle together it will be good. thanks for your time.

cool thanks, you seem to be one of the only ones with out some crazy scientific answer which i like. I was told by an old timer that leave it alone and about 10 days after it stops bubling through the airlock, rack it and pop the airlock back on for a few weeks and drink it, the more it ages...
