Cyser
10/28/15
Added yeast 103.1 gravity (typo) no idea original gravity
11/29/15
Added 18% yeast
(Activity in airlock was slow but steady. Left to take care of itself.)
3/4/16
Put in secondary
Gravity 1.085
Added yeast for third time.
3/12/16
Still no fermentation
Ph 3.9
Brix 27
Gravity 1.075 18.2 brix
Airated
1 gallon of water added
Gravity now 1.065 12.4 brix
Hydrated yeast starter with half cup water and half cup must
Repitched yeast k1-v1116
3/19/16
Gravity 1.050
TA level .7%
Still not fermenting
I mi
2 packs of k1-v1116 rehydrated and put in gallon jug with a couple pinches of sugar and slowly adding mead to it over the next week.
3/26/16
Fermentation stopped again. 3 lbs sugar added. Gravity brought back to 1.080
4/4/16
Gravity not taken. No new activity since adding sugar.
Added 2 packets ec-1118 to carboy and 1 pack safale us-05 and 1 pack red star champagne yeast to 1 gallon jug. Both moved from 65 degree to 75 degree atmosphere.
4/21/16
Gravity checked 1.080 in carboy. 1 gallon 1.110 due to carbonation most likely. Does taste sweeter than carboy.
Next step fortify with Vodka?
