Oh...lalvin d-47

My final gravity ended up being around 1.01, I thought this was acceptable and it was pretty good...

So I made this mead seems to be doing well, I just got it off of the yeast and into a carboy. I live in florida and have a cooler I ferment in set to like 60 degrees which keeps the mead at around 62-64. Do I have to keep it at that temperature or can I keep it in my house which is around 74-76...

So I have yet to hear a reply from you... Are you willing to take the coupler back or at least give me half my money I paid for the item of which I assumed to be in working condition...

Ill take one if you can do $25 shipped I'm in Clearwater, fl...

I just kegged the beer! It came out great, it was a little lite in the apricot flavor so I put a teabag in a stainless steel tea ball and tossed it into the keg, what a great boost almost perfect amount of flavor! The beer has a hint of a black tea profile which balances out the hoppyness...

Be careful when steeping tea too long it like anything else starts to release bad flavors when set for long periods, I will attach the advised times and temps per different teas...

This is the setup I spoke of...

I use a tri-clover clamp or whatever it's called, it may also be called "sanitary fitting", of the 2 inch type, then I put another sanitary fitting which goes from 2 inch to 1in NPT threading in which I attach a elbow to a 12X1 inch NPT Nipple to a 1 inch ball valve to a 1 in NPT downspout...

I finished it a couple weekends ago...brewed with it too, worked well, just the first bit had some chunks but I simply put a stainless steel sink screen in front of the stream...

Nice! Yea I had some issues going from primary bucket to secondary carboy and I sucked up some of the loose trub could be that! I was planning on keging it Saturday should I wait longer?

I was planning on keging it on Saturday...should I wait to see if the chunks fall or just try to dodge them?

Definitely a fetus I would remember putting ginger in there... Haha

Do you not use Irish moss? If so, do you use anything else?

Thanks, that's what I ended up coming up with too... :mug:

Should I add anything to try to get it to clump together and sink?

I personally did not add any sugar and the tea tasted as bland as could be, no hint of sugar what-so-ever. But, there could be small amount of sugar in the apricot flowers...doesn't really look like krausen (bubbles from the tea) up top there, hopefully by tomorrow morning it all goes back down...
