well i have a 2 gallon bucket with about 3.5 pounds of sugar and about 6 pounds of blueberries, i already added my water into everything, so i went and added 1 tsp of pectin, 2 campden tablets and 2 tsp of yeast nutrients. i will let this all sit for a day then i will add my yeast. I think next...

Hey guys! So my question is pretty simple, when you go to add your sulfite and pectin to a fruit wine, in my case campden tablets, you need to add based off the volume of the must. i added based off the volume of water i added to the must. but the total volume with the sugar, blueberries and...

thank you i just transferred it to a third jar added 1 tsp of sorbate and 1 campden tablet going to leave it for a day then back sweeten with honey i think

so i took out the mead to let it get to room temp and these little foamy white spots are sitting on the top of the mead. anyone know what this might be? i dont want to keep opening it up and tasting, there are no sulfites in it yet or sorbate, also about 3weeks ago i made a tea with raisins and...

how long do you think i should let the sorbate and sulfites sit in the mead before bottling?

ok guess im going to follow you on that lol, think it will be bad if i let it warm up since its been in the frig for like 9months?

ok cool thank you, also why do i need to let it warm up? what will happen if i put the sorbate and sulfite in and put it back into my frig for a day?

i didnt add anything yet, i wanted to add them both, is that fine? its been in secondary in my frig for like 8months without any potassium metabisulfite.

so my mead has been aging in my frig with the bung and air lock on it for about 9 months now in secondary and i been tasting it along the way, i never added potassium metabisulfite or potassium sorbate. i want to back sweeten and bottle now, should i take this mead out of the secondary and add...

its been in my refrigerator, is it ok to age it in the cold refrig with an airlock for a year?

im pretty sure there is no gas left in the mead, i have tasted it a few times now and it was pretty still. i have a bung and airlock on it. think i can leave the bung and airlock on it for another 4months with a problem? it has been about 4months already. or should i plug it and age it?

should i keep an air lock on my mead if im bulk aging? its been under air lock for about 4 months now. any tips for aging?

ok ty

Think putting it in the frig with the air lock on it is ok? I want to leave it for another week with oak.

tasted the mead today, seem like some acidity has started to appear in the mead, it was not there when i tasted it earlier this month. I believe the oak is definitely working the mead and changing it for the better, still seems thin as far as body goes, as well as still has a strong alcohol...
