BOMM had signs of life or at least the airlock was bubbling...slow...I had water in the airlock to help alert me and to keep stuff out of it but have removed the water. Still waiting on the JOA

Understood, but sometimes, new people like me, might want a resource to help guide them in the right direction, and all my local honey is 10$-12$ a pound. I would rather start and screw up with cheaper honey. And I am still on the lookout to find a Local Supply to support, but until then....

As the name implies, trying to make a list of bulk honey suppliers. Please feel free to add the many I am sure I have not found yet. Also, If I have one listed that is a known supplier to avoid, please let me know. https://flyingbeeranch.net/honeys/ https://www.walkerhoneyfarm.com/...

How did the coffee mead turn out

:cool:

because I was on the cusp of the gravities mainly, but also because of the issue I am having with my yeast will adding more Fermaid hurt?

Yeah, I am used to a lag at times, with all that diluted sugar, was not sure how long I could wait, but I can wait 72 hrs if that is a real thing. The YTB protocol says that SNA is not a thing with SG of 1.090 or less and mine was 1.087, and to add 3.67g (IIRC) upfront, that I did...but I am...

So as per my usual results with Wyeast Smack Packs, I got no significant signs of activity after about 3 hours. I pitched the yeast last night and the inner packets were broken open. I know you can pitch without swelling...just not optimal. I have some Mangrove Jacks Mead yeast being delivered...

328.8 + 2 = 330.8 1 gallon of BOMM 1 gallon of JOA BOMM As long as my TX math is up to speed...lol

For this Mead, I am going to skip them. The only JOAM that has currants in it is the Good Dr.'s so I am going with plane above. Will start cleaning and prepping after coffee....

For my JOABOMM...I can not find Currents Picked up Craisens...dried cranberries should work right?

Yeah I wanted to give him a call out

Shopping today, might pick up some other Dry yeast for later meads. I want to get these going using the BOMM method so I can turn around a few batches and possibly have some ready to bottle for Christmas. It is amazing how vibrant this thread is considering it started almost a decade ago...
