Sorry for interrupt, i know this is not my thread, however, talking about temperature, may i ask something?? I know that the temperature does a critical role during fermentation. I read somewhere that the higher temperature (within the yeast can sustain) the fermentation will be faster, but it...

Thanks you JimRausch, bernardsmith, and PeteSeattle.

Thanks, but i can not taste any alcohol in my mead. What did i miss? or doing wrong? Thanks you, i did visit those, but they're all beer brewer. Many did not even know there are mead or honey wine exist.

I mixed 1 part of honey to about 3.5 part of water which gave me a total of 4 litter in volume. At first the gravity was around 1.090, and today is was 1.005. I used fruit yeast, it seem work well (it bubble well for 3 weeks).

Up to now, it been 3 weeks since i made new batch. I just take a sample today. On the hydrometer, i read that it nearly 1.005 in 24 degree Celsius. But using the same thing as hydrometer but it used to measure alcohol content, there is no alcohol in it?? why is that? It taste dry, and a bit...

Thanks @biochemedic

http://gotmead.com/blog/making-mead/mead-newbee-guide/the-newbee-guide-to-making-mead-chapter-9-yeast/ Also i read on that site (can't remember which post) they said that you should add additional ingredients to create the best environment for yeast. It will be easier and faster.

Before, according to many, my mead was infected, i used medical alcohol to clean my stuff, and it did turn out not good enough (due to the infected, i guess) is there any thing i can improve?? Also, i'm about to make new 2 batches, one with the fruit yeast that i have, and one without yeast (let...

Thanks Miraculix

Thanks you, i'm looking forward to learn more about wrangle yeast, making starter.

Unfortunately, in Vietnam, we don't have any homebrewing store, and the only one that sell yeast, they sell a 25kg package. Thanks for all your advise. I found bread yeast and on my process to cure my mixture. I gave it a good boil, is it normal if it smell like beer??

Yeah, i did not add any yeast to my mixture. I thought that a small amount of sugar will help give a natural yeast a boost, and it did, but the result is unknown (to me, cause i have not taste any true mead before) also i can't find yeast or nutient in my country, so i have no choice. No, it...

Hi, i'm totally new to brewing, so please patient with me if i'm asking stupid thing. I come from Vietnam (by the way, sorry for my bad English) where i can't find any stuff like yeast, or nutrient, etc.. So, may i ask, if there anyway or recipe to make mead without yeast? how much alcohol will...
