I have a nice little room under the stairs that usually keeps a pretty steady temperature. Lately it had been getting in the low 50s (Farenheit), so I got a space heater with a thermostat. Evidently something went wrong either yesterday or the day before because this evening I went in and the room was 90 degrees Farenheit. I've started cooling the room, but airlock activity is still non-existent.
The room contains the following batches:
1) 1 gallon JAO pitched 2 months ago, should be almost ready so I'm not too worried. Should I be?
2) 3 gallons clover show mead D47 pitched 10 days ago. OG 1.106, current SG 1.051. This seems salvageable. Should I repitch some D47 or wait it out to see if activity resumes after the temperature gets back to 65 degrees?
3) 1 gallon wildflower show mead D47 pitched 8 days ago. OG 1.095, current SG 0.998. Tastes very sour, which is expected I suppose.
4) 1 gallon orange blossom show mead D47 pitched 8 days ago. OG 1.091, current SG 1.037. Tastes young but not too bad. Since the SG is still relatively high, this one seems likely salvageable. Am I right?
5) 1 gallon habanero mead D47 pitched 8 days ago. OG 1.092, current SG 1.007. Tastes fair - young but not terrible.
Can I save any of these, some of these? Any advice? Support?
