So I started on 6/5/16 with a sweet mead (1 gallon) recipe and the thing is still bubbling away! Been 20 days and has only slowed to 1 bubble every 20-25 seconds. I used D47 and 5 lbs Wildflower honey (probably way too much thinking back on it), sg 1.130, 6/12/16 gravity was down to 1.065. I haven't taken a measurement since but that puts it about 8.5%.
I don't mind if it gets up there with the alcohol but not sure if I'm doing this right. Should I let it just bubble away? I am seeing some loss of liquid, very minor but I can see the rings on the carboy.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
