Awesome! Glad you tried it! Looks WAY different from mine though.. Mine wag literally green

Thats one area where I went wrong.. I really should have blended it. I mean the yeast ate it up and dissolved it, but the first few weeks were grueling! I would have throw cilantro in there if I were you. I will re do this, but this time use: Avocados (the right amount this time, you little...

I truly don't know. It didn't really separate. So I diluted it, and put it in 2 bottles. Still hasnt helped one bit. I couldn't even re rack it really haha. If I have the heart to sip it... Idk, I will tell you guys... But most likely it will be bottled and age for a while untill I become more...

BE SUUUURE TO PUT THE AVOCADOS IN THE BLENDER!!!! Make sure its a sludge that you put in or it will clog up with the cilantro and explode on you.

When I added more water and fuel I could clearly tell the yeast was alive.. Its not going CRAZY but it started going good, its slowly slowing down though. It smells SUPER alcoholyy though lol

Ok I will try that, Is all the yeast dead though because it has stopped bubbling.

Iunno, Maybe once I strain it through a cheese cloth I'll get a lil more than a half gallon outa it. I am not gonna add anything to it due to the fact that no one has given me insight on what to do. But when should I rack it? It has stopped bubbling now, or does mead take a lil longer?

Its dropped about 2"s since then. Whats the worst thing that could happen?? Is it not a good idea to add more sugar, water and yeast? I know it wont go as nuts as it last time

Bump

I wasn't really able to stir it at all through out this whole thing. Because of all the loss and the avocados flattening out, I was wondering (the level in the jug is loooww). Should I throw in a bit more yeast (they seem pretty dead) sugar, and a few cups of water, and let it go again for a...

It has REALLY slowed down. About 1-2 bubbles/minute. I'm a bit confused what to do. Do I cap it, or re bottle it with a siphon and bottle it? That seems really good, mmmmn a chocolate mead! Maybe a bit of cinnamon, peppermint (Maaaaaybe some orange)! *Also I am making a rice raisin wine...

When do you think I should rack it? *edit* PS it smells super good and alcoholic as **** lol

Oh sweet, I live right by a farmers market

I live in Los Angeles wich is a few hours away and have never heard of that?? Sounds interesting. I have considered farming honey but am scared too haha :drunk:

Lol, I was doing that, but because it was going so strong I didn't want the yeast to get going even faster, and in the beginning the pressure was so high I couldn't take the lid off... So it would have made it WAAAAY worse to attempt that. I also found that the longer neck somewhat helped less...
