Ok so here is the rub, i attemptem my first mead on friday.
Here is what i started with
4 gal spring water
9Lbs clover honey
3Lbs wildflower
3Lbs orange blossom
Wyeast nutrient
Red star cote des blanc
OG was at 1.14 as i dodnt add all the water
sanitized everything real good mixed pitched
Put the fsrmenter in the basement...no airlock movement in 36 hours moved the fermenter to a warmer environment re pitched with d-47 after another 24 hours still no air lock movement.
Added more water now gravity is 1.105 and tested the ph and that seems to be in the 4 range... Still no activity. So my question is if i rack to a different vessel and re pitch should all my problems go away or is the batch spoiled
