So here it is. my first mead or anything home brewed. recipe is as follows (so far) 15lbs wildflower honey, 4 gallons purified water, 1 tsp yeast energizer, 1 vial mead yeast for 5 gallons.
Notice i forgot to add the nutrient. It has been in primary for 2 days now, saw very little bubbling this morning. Can I add the nutrient now? do I wait for secondary?
I saw a recipe for a nutrient that can be mixed by pharmacy
Ammonium sulphate - 325grains
magnesium sulphate - 50grains
potassium phosphate - 175grains
citric acid - 650grains
should be enough for a 5 gallon batch, i am not a chemist so i dont know what all that would do.
If adding that nutrient now would i need to dilute it before introducing it to the primary or just throw the powder in?
Thank you for any help here.
p.s initial gravity 1.20 whatever that means from hydrometer.
