Hello, this is my second batch of my homebrewing hobby and this is my recipe
Oct 15 Traditional batch 2 (2L)
honey - 570 ml/1022g
water - 1500 ml
Yeast - Mangrove jack MO5 ~2.5g
initial gravity - 1.100
week 2 - 0.992
So I was the guy who posted My mead stopped bubbling after day 5 and there is...
yes this batch i will use warm drinking water, but unfortunately the country where I live in i couldn't source Fermaid O/K and Go-Ferm, I was only able to find DAP.
and I need to rehydrate the yeast this time because the last time I just threw it in there lol, but still fermentation started...
here is the picture of the nutrient, the craft a brew recipe kit in which i recieved it did not mention what nutrient this was so i have no clue
i was thinkin of using DAP in my next batch, what would you suggest? is there any alternatives?
i see, well i don't wanna use tap water and i don't think i can get spring water either, should i use boiled and cooled distilled/mineral water next time? What do you suggest?
also, eventhough i dropped the grenade the fermentation didn't succesfully restart regardless :/
Yes my ferment stalled earlier which is why I added extra yeast hoping it would restart, I bottled it because I would rather start my next batch learning from these errors rather than keeping this in primary hoping it would fix itself by waiting for a long time.
I wonder if this translucency...
here is my recipe and gravity readings (I took it today) @Yooper pls check it out too.
batch quantity - 2 Litres
500 ml - raw wildflower honey
1.5 litre - distilled water
5 gm yeast - lalvin D 47 (initially only pitched 2.5g of yeast then I thought it died so I added another 2.5g after week 1)...
Bottled my mead today as I took another reading after a week and the gravity still remained at 1.024. this is my first batch and it came out pretty translucent with a strong bitter taste and a weird aftertaste(pls explain if this is fine or if all the meads have this). now I have bottled it to...
i see, this has been fermenting for a month now, as the title suggested there was little to no activity after week 1, but i tasted the mead now and it was very bitter with a strong alcohol bite and burn down the throat with a strong aftertaste followed by a bad breath for a while, i was planning...
guys update! i have invested in a hydrometer and i just took the reading, it shows my current gravity is 1.024, the mead looks transluscent and no bubbles or anything. pls give me your suggestions, i am planning to bottle this and let it age for 3-6 months and start with my next batch.
what do...
so there is a chance that everything went right? then i think i am not gonna discard it for another 2 weeks and wait and see what happens. fingers crossed! thank you for your suggestion
