did it ever start? how long did it take?? i just started a batch of cherry mead yesterday morning, and seems to be slow to start compared to the batches of wine i have done (First mead)...beala said:Fermentation can take up to 36 hours to begin, especially if you used a liquid yeast without a starter.
cool. it is hard to be patient in the beginning. splitting sounds like a great idea!Arneba28 said:started after 37hours almost on the dot. well airlock first bubbled after 37 so im sure it started a few hours before that. Was worried that it would be like pushing bubbles through syrup since OG was 1.073. its THICK! Cherry mead sounds great. formed a real nice foamy head on it. This will be split to (2) 5.5gal batches after primary, and pitch champagne yeast with another 2.5gal wort...
