Started my mead on Oct. with 14 lbs of honey, to 4 gal of water. I added 4 oranges and a handful of raisins for flavor. I forget the brand of yeast I used, but it was recommended for sweet mead wine. Lastly I added LD Carlson yeast nutrient as recommended, The mead bubbled very slowly for two weeks then stopped. It never bubbled vigorously link many of the videos I saw. I'm original reading on the hydrometer was 18% sugar . I racked it today and removed the fruit. There was dead yeast, but not as much as many of the videos i have seen. Today's reading is 0 percent sugar. It is still cloudy, but I know that is expected.....I have two questions....my glass carbon is 6 gallons and my mead at this point is 5 gal. Should I add a gallon of water to fill the carbon or should I leave it alone? Second question, how am I doing so far? Thanks in advance for the feedback!
