I am making my first mead according to Ken Schramm's Compleat Meadmaker book. We substituted the yeast with something my local brew shop recommended, which I regret (and in fact once I clean out my fermenter I will be making a batch with the proper yeast). The instructions in the book are somewhat vague as to when to transfer the mead to a new container - at least to someone like myself who is a bit nervous about getting it right...
We started this batch on Sept 12, so it's been just a bit over two weeks. At it's most active, the airlock was bubbling more than 1x per second, now it's slowed to roughly 1x per 2-3 seconds... Should I wait longer or let it keep going until it slows down more?
I have tons and tons more questions but for now I'll just leave it at this...
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
