I used 15# of clover honey in 5 gallons of water, with white labs sweet mead yeast. bottled with corn sugar, and is now 2 months old. it is 11.68% ABV, nice and light but not too dry, and just getting better as time goes by. Most f it will not be opened before next year.

If you are using a store bought Apple cider to start this, check your label. If the cider contained any potassium sorbate your yeast is dead, and the batch is shot.

I did 15 lbs of honey to 5 gallons of water which gave me an OG of 1.101 it finished at 1.012 and that was using White labs sweet mead yeast.

Actually, now that I re-racked it has started pushing...I'm just so used to beer or mead, which I have found is usually a much more busy fermentation. It seems to be moving along now though. Thanks

If I could get a little advice...I have a gallon that I put up to ferment 4 days ago. Nothing. My og is 1.062 I used a red star champagne yeast. it was well aerated.

My name is Bryan, I'm from southern Oregon. I brew ales, and Mead, plan on getting into lagering at some point.
