About two weeks ago i planned on making a 5 gallon batch of JAOM but desided i will try that next with the fleshmen bread yeast so instead i made two batches of what i hope will be a Dry Orange Blossom Mead i wanted to see if some of you experts could look over how things are progressing. Do you think i should add more yeast to the larger batch? I'm aware patients is important just looking to see if everything appears to be going well.... I may have pitched the yeast into the hotter temp range because i added a little 100 degree water in both fermentor to dissolved the honey, and while filling the fermenters with cooler water i also pitched the yeast. I am stirring daily and following a SNA schedule (first and second stage SNA complete). Both fermenters currently sitting at 68-70 degree range
