When you stir up the yeast do you stir all the lees on the bottom of your bucket?

Located in upstate Ny, I will check on your questions and get back to you. I have 3 or 4 locals that sell 60lb pails for $160 guess I live in a good area.This is the first at $150 though.

i wasn’t sure about filtered honey, I have bought different local honey in the past and they didn’t say their honey was filtered.Probably overthinking things again,lol

Thanks for the reply, will this type of honey be good for mead making?

Local bee keeper is advertising 5 gallon pails of cold filtered honey for 150$ my question is (What is cold filtered honey) ?

Once again Yooper thank you for the response,you have been patient and a big help. Now I think I need a drink.

That’s where I got confused, I thought I was supposed to leave it alone after the sugar break and let it ferment dry. My instinct was to keep getting the gas out but I have been told so many different things my head is spinning lol

My OG was 1.103 it is now just pass sugar break 1.069 and now that I have stopped feeding and degassing there is what I have been told is (krausen) foam or froth on top of the mead. This is my first time using dry yeast and TOSNA. D47 yeast. I guess there is no big deal but I thought I would...

Sorry, that’s what I have been told . Ok interject foam or froth instead of krausen with the same question.

Just wondering how I should handle Krausen in my traditional. This is a straight traditional using TOSNA. Should I break this up and stir into the mead or just let it be. I am just pass the sugar break and have stopped degassing because I no longer need to feed. My thoughts were to let it...

6 gallons of JAOM/BOMM 6 gallons SACK/BOMM brings total to 204 gallons

Brings total to 192

Brings total to 186

That’s wonderful,good news indeed. I won’t stress about 76 F anymore.✌️

If you are brewing a true BOMM then you are using wyeast 1388. The temperature range for 1388 is 64-80 F or 18 - 27 C Brey said the optimal temperature is 68 F I personally start freeking when my temp hits 76 F Best of luck ✌️
