Howdy all,
I am in my second year of mead-making, and have learned a lot from year one - I think. I just started my first batch for this year, and wanted to try out some of the more sophisticated approaches (SNA, daily stirring, etc). Seems to be helping a LOT!
Right now, I am curious if anyone has attempted to perform the twice-daily degassing on days 1-7 with a magnetic stirrer in the primary bucket (4-5gal)?? It seems that instead of opening the fermenter 2 times a day (and risking contamination), it would be easier to use a magnetic stirrer with enough oomph to move the stirring rod, no?
Has anyone tried this?
