I use to use Sysco oil containers cuz they are 5.5 gallons. I stopped for one its plastic. (Porous) and you can never get all the oil out. Doesn't make the mead gross or anything, just a lot better off with a glass carboy or brewing bucket.

Lol yes I do have a hydrometer. I know only how to check for potential alcohol so far.

When should I rack it? The recipe says rack after a week, let sit for another four weeks...

First time brewer myself. Just six batches so far but they get better and better!!! The Star Trek Cookbook had the first recipe I ever tried to make was very good. But this book is alot more in depth, a lot more sophisticated.

Its brewing very nicely!!!!

Thank you fatbloke again. I will keep you updated as much as possible. I was very worried cuz the honey is imported and very expensive.

Happy to have you back!

Thank you fatbloke I unfortunately am using a one gallon carboy (all I have). I transferred it into a new container and have aerated it as well as waited 48 hours. About to make my yeast starter

Thank you. I added it after I made the must. I have not added my wine yeast yet. The recipe I have called for two tablets. It said add only one (upon further investigation I found you add the other way later in the process) I have an airlock on so should I just let it air out? I made it last...

I used two tablets in my one gallon batch.... was that too much? Did I destroy the must? Help please
