I have 2 one gallon batches the SG 1.10

I making my first batch of mead. I use local honey, filtered water, and an amerian ale yeast. Its been in the primary for 3 weeks I still see alot of activity in the air lock. A bubble every second or so. Should I wait until no activity in the airlock to rack to secondary or go by gravity...

had to dump out my cyser. I didn't sanitize my equipment right lost the batch. Made a second batch of cider and it came out good. But waiting till Christmas of 14 to see if it matures nicely.

I drank some of my cider at Christmas, was ok but not great. I waited and had some more on Easter and it was much better. I liked it a lot, but is was more like a wine. I got about a 9% alc. wine. I did not carbonate. I like it as a wine. I have half the batch left and will try to stay out...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks very helpful. The local supply store is out of Nottingham, what's your opinion of ec1118.

Getting ready to start another batch of cider. Is montrachet yeast good for cider?

Thanks for the advise. This is my first batch of cider or fermenting anything. If this comes out good I'll be hooked.

Another question I have. Did I leave to much head room? If so, what do you think I should do about it. That is if anything can be done.

My cycer is yellow and cloudy. Had good fermentation for two days. Now there no action in the air lock. There is little white bubbles forming and sediment moving inside. Does this sound right for the 5th day in primary.
