I just racked it, going to see how it goes. Now I just have to let it sit I believe

Thank you very much for the help. I am alittle put off by the smell. It smells like alcohol and stale at the same time

I have had my first batch sitting now for over a month. It was bubbling regularly and it has now stop bubbling I bought some equipment to test gravity of my must and I am getting a 1.000 which is water and 0% alcohol. The must has a tangy bitter smell to it not sweet at all. It was almost like...

Hey I might be able to get some Asper honey apposed to a summer wildflower honey which should I go for?

Thank you I am going to need to buy some new equipment. I want to make this into a serious hobby and don't mind some time and money spent

So a small flashlight will help me expose if I am still getting fermentation when I rack should I add anything to the must?

sorry I should of given more information. I used a champagne yeast and I am kicking myself for throwing out the wrapper with out taking a photo of it (rookie mistake), so I am not really sure what exact type of yeast it is. my recipe is very simple. 15 pounds of honey in a 5 gallon...

So as of tomorrow my must will be sitting for 4 weeks in primary fermentation when should I do my first rack I don't want to disturb my primary fermentation and at the same time I don't want to let my must sit for too long with my raisens and yeast. My main questions are How do I know...

Yea it's honestly stabbing in the dark so who know

Got mead.com said to use 5-10 raisens per gallon of must

Really Let me look again

I dropped in another 25 raisens the other website stated 5-10 raisens per gallon so I am at 50+ for my 5 gallons of mead thanks for looking out for me

I am 1 day into my mead. I have 5 gallons I added 25 raisens do I need to add more i don't want to starve my yeast I want all natural ingriedants so raisens all I want to use

I read that they never had that stuff in the old days so the purest are against that. Thanks as you can tell I am a noob at this? Just I run and throw it in now or wait till it has calmed down?

I heard its better not to use any chemical energizer. I have one do you think it's too late to add? My musk is a day old. If I remove the air lock am I going to get a ton of air in it and ruin the batch?
