I'm about 3 days into fermenting my first batch of mead, and it bubbled very well for the first two days, and now has come to a complete stop. According to the compleat Meadmaker book, It matches the symptoms of a PH problem. Either that, or it could be done. It may have finished rather quickly because I started with a gravity of only 1.090, I wanted to start with a pretty light mead. I can't get another hydrometer reading though, because I don't have any container deep enough to read anything lower than 1.040. Tomorrow I plan to go shop for a graduated cylinder, and possibly a PH meter. One final thing I'm worried about is if it could be infected. I've never seen mead fermenting before so I have to ask, is it normal for it to smell kind of like vomit?
Thanks in advance,
Wassail!
