Howdy. I am working on my second batch of mead. According to my hydrometer, the gravity has come down to 1.010. However, I am struggling to believe my own readings because the taste at this point is very sweet. It is still early, it has not aged much. I was going to let it age in a carboy...

I used both. Why do you ask?

So would it be worth it to try adding 1116 at this point? Even if I'm just experimenting to figure out what went wrong?

I tried adjusting the temperature and got no results. I wound up adding a new batch of yeast ec-1118, and i did see activity in the airlock at first. I was hopeful. I checked again and the gravity has not changed since I racked it. I have adjusted the temperature between 60 F and 82 F, and...

Original Gravity was 1.130, when I racked it after two weeks it was 1.070. It sat for a week with no activity in the airlock. I just checked it again and it is at 1.070. So an air leak is definitely not the issue. This is made from LME.

I did check the gravity, it is far from done. I like the air leak idea, that is possible.

I am brewing a DIPA. I still had regular bubbling in my air lock when I racked it into the carboy as I usually do. It has now been several days and there has been absolutely no activity whatsoever since transferring to the carboy, and I'm not sure why. I have limited experience, but this has...
