there should be a warning!

either i missed it or something but i was not thinking of the outcome but in my attempt to degas and add nutrient to my mead resulted in a giant soaking honey volcano didn't really think about what happens when you agitate CO2, well it shoots through the carboy neck with some serious pressure,soaking my kids books,carpet, walls, boxes of beer bottles,and SWMBO's books as well not too pleased w/me for that oh well live and learn

Right in the Staggered Nutrient Addition FAQ, "Be CAREFUL when you add these nutrients as you can get quite a bit of foaming (a physical reaction due to the creation of nucleation points)..."

LOL - I did the same thing with a small batch of cider a month or so ago.

That's why I use a bucket as a primary for all my meads.

Read hightests stuff, he knows his ****....

And yes, a bucket fermenter for primary.

I also tend to take a bit of must out, put it in a sanitised liquidiser, add the nutrient and then give it a whizz

Oh and I still at the nutrient liquid slowly, gently, carefully even to the bucket.

It only goes into a carboy when it's at the 1/2 sugar break and I've finished with aeration and stuff like that.......

ya i over-looked the warning part, my bad, a rookie mistake and i paid for it things will be sticky for a while

mine spewed out a gallon give or take. a foamy gallon takes up more space than one would think lemme tell ya.
