I currently have some mead fermenting right now and I had some questions about some processes.
I'm doing 1 gal batches and am interested in the SG but by the time I take 2-3 readings it would severely decrease my turnout. How do most people take their readings? I'm not too worried about it since I want a dry product but I would still like to know.
Also, when using those 1 gal jugs as secondaries what's a good way to seal them? I thought about some plastic wrap with a rubber band w/ marbles to limit head space or I could steal some paraffin from some of my labs.
One more question (heh, sorry): when storing wine bottles what's the best/easiest way to store them on their sides. I'm a beer brewer so my storage options are mostly upright.
Thanks!
