Thanks I added potassium Sorbate and potassium metabisulfite. I did add a very thing before racking it. But I think I heard it still bubbling around every 3 or 4 minutes while I paint at night. So I think it was still fermenting. But I would not think that much. My may concerned is if it...

I added the Potassium sorbate when it looked like the fermenting stopped. I then waited a week rack andadd the honey and fruit. I think it is still fermenting and this is the dead yeast, but it is a lot. Or is this infected or mold. It doesn’t smell or tastes bad. Any advice would be great.

Thank,

Thanks SG was 1.090, Gravity on day 10 Wednesday it was at 1.020 so the honey is almost gone from my guess. Thanks I guess I learned something new. LoL. Well I will be backsweeting it a lot more than I planned. Thanks for the information and assistance.

HI, This is my first batch of Mead at 5 gallons, and my second time doing this, first time on my own. I had 5 gal. of water, which I added 18 lbs of Honey too that I used 2 Packs of Lalvin EC-1118 to ferment. It has been going well, and started to slow down to about one bubble for every 10...

I would like to ask a sub-question to this question as I am working on my second batch of mead and first batch on my own. I have 5 gallons of water and 15 lbs of honey SG 1.090. I used 2 pouches of EC-1118. The must has been bubbling about once every 5 second, and I am on day 4. I am trying...

Thanks, I don't mind the ABV of 18%, and right now I just got the 1118. I think I will try your OG 1.140 with the 1118, and back sweeten in the secondary. I believe if I need to I can back sweeten more if I need to. Thanks, and have a great new year.

@koniowsky717, I was wondering how has this receipt been going. I was looking at your receipt and it looks pretty good and about the ABV % I was looking at. I will be looking at it being a little sweet was I was not sure if you had to back sweeten it? I may have missed it but what kind of...

Thank you, so much for the information. I think that you maybe correct. As i also added the honey to the must less than 24 hours to adding the Sodium Metabisulfite. (That is definitely one of the ways you learn) We drinked Christmas eve and it was strong, with a little sweetness. I liked it...

Hi, I am new to brewing, and I am doing Mead. I took a class and they started the Mead for us. It is one gallon, with about 1.25 pounds of honey, and cherry juice was used. I let it ferment for about two and half weeks. Added the energizer five days after fermentation started. Put in the...
