I didn't check PH, just kept it in a dark closet after racking it over to glass. I bottled it last night it turned out to be around 14%,and it hits like a sledgehammer. I'm calling it "Wrecker Wraspberry". pretty good overall, I'm going to try a different yeast for the next go, KV-1118...

Howdy folks, I'm Eric, I've brewed about 30 or so gallons of mead over the past year or two and am thinking about getting a little more serious with it. and making a conical fermentor for about 35-50 gallons worth. I thought it would be a good idea to pick some brains before diving headfirst...
