Ok, so I started a 5gal batch of Schramms sweet mead using clover honey. I took a ph reading when I started and I'm not sure what to think. My PH strips will read from 2.8 up to 4.4 and shows from light green to dark blueish green. The indicator itself is a pale blue. What gets me is that the ph indicator never changed color. I mean it did get darker at first due to being wet but it did not match anything on the indicator chart. I'd like to start this thread to help myself and others know what to do when this happens. Or what options are available. I used a D-47 yeast and it is fermenting, not as quickly as other batches I've done but I've never used D-47 before. Suggestions and comments/discussion about PH would be most welcome.
