Can someone please post a five 5 - gallon BOMM Fermaid O protocol?
loveofrose said:These days, I'm moving to Fermaid O. You have to use a lot more of it (1 TBSP per addition per gallon), but the mead is more aromatic and you don't have to worry about overdoing DAP.
Also, would Wyeast 4632 do well with this protcol?
Yes, but it won't be drinkable for 6-8 months.
Alright so finally getting around to making another session (somewhere in the 7-9%) batch of this.
What nutrient addition schedule should I do with it being a 1 gal batch, and lower gravity?
His fidnemed metheglin recipe ( https://denardbrewing.com/blog/post/Fidnemed/ ) would probably cover exactly what you are asking.
I made it -- actually bumped up the OG a little -- and it had no detectable issues at 8 days @68F, and was about .998.

Actually, TOSNA is way too difficult for a short mead (<1.070). Upfront Fermaid O at 10 grams a gallon always works for me.

It may be possible to use less and get a good result, but I don't know what the threshold is. I can tell you that Wyeast 1388 needs more nutrients than 71B (which is what TOSNA is based on). Maybe double the suggested TOSNA amount to be sure? Let me know how it turns out.
1st off, Thank you Loveofrose for this incredible thread, and all the info. I just got my first 2.5g batch fermented, and moved it to cold crash overnight. Now my question to those with experience, I believe Loveofrose doesn't do this (allergies I believe??) but I want to back sweeten a portion of this for my wife and dont want to step-feed(?) what would be the proper amount per gallon of Potassium Sorbate and Potassium Metabisulphite? I appologize for any terminology errors, thank you in advance!
Hope you enjoy that, mine first one turned out very good, crystal clear (reddish) though very slow to bottle-carb -- probably because I bumped up the alcohol to ~9.5%....
"Cooking" up a Fidnemed Short Metheglin as we speak...
Thanks for the link. Just wondering, 2oz pack should be more than enough but 1lb is better deal. Does anyone know shelf life of potassium carbonate?
Same question for the fermaid k?
