Lol thanks it helps kinda but does give me an idea on the temp of the room and how much the c02 will stay

Thanks that actually makes more sense now that room stays pretty cold. That might be what I needed to know. Now if you excuse me ima do a pineapple mead lol jk but maybe someday

That's awesome! I love different things with mead.

Pineapple? This latest one was an apple mead soo maybe it's the apple. as for changes it happened with to different yeasts, I did stop using yeast nutrients that is a changed I did. But nothing really else. How did that pineapple turn out? Sorry I like ideas lol

Most of the time I don't usually degass cause not that much build up so usually bottle an age but recently yes I started to. Cause of just how much is being built up. I've just never had to happen to this extent do you know of any factors that may cause this to happen more?

I have a mead I started on 11/25 is is now 1/31 normally I've never had this problem till recently last 3 Batches have had abnormally high amounts of c02 build up in it. Almost like the hard lock is holding it in I put less water in and still have it done if anyone can help I'd be grateful. I...

Idk sometimes I dont get it cause like I said I made some applejack freeze distilled and it's still form some at the bottom like I didn't think that would be possible

How does gelatin work? And I heard bentonite can strip the color so I try and avoid it.. I have some never used it was trying to see if there was an easier way to get rid of this stuff cause theres some things I've racked twice and it still gets some. Maybe a combo between cold crash and maybe...

I've tired using cheese cloth before but it came back, or do you mean to use it then drink kinda thing, cause when i tried that didnt seem to help just kinda split it up. But what can you tell me of the other finning agents? And does it help with ciders? Cause I have a thing of applejack which...

gotcha yea from what I can tell it was the temp

Yea I noticed after I back sweetened it was more noticeable of a taste but putting it in during the primary didn't do much. I'm sure my problem was the temp was to high for the yeast/fermentation. Cause I just got done with another normal batch and it did it to.
