this is my first mead and i really have no idea what i am doing!
here's my recipe i put together on 5/4/13:
5 lbs honey
2 gallons h20
2 tsp yeast engergizer
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 packet dry champagne yeast
i transfered to secondary on 6/10/13 where it currently is resting.
my questions are these:
1) can i go ahead and bottle this now?
2) i'd like to carbonate this, but how much sugar do i use?
3) are regular 12oz or 16oz beer bottles ok to use if i plan to carbonate? or do i need swing tops?
4) how long to store after bottling?
i know these are a lot of beginner questions so i appreciate any feedback. thanks!
and i'm sure the longer in the bottle, the better it's going to be!
thanks again!
