^this!

yeah, that's another thing i was wondering. if there's a small amount of yeast that will help carbonate. has anybody else tried this with good results? i would really hate to add too much...

well... how bad is sediment? have you ever had a blue moon or a hoegaarten? i understand that this is mead and not beer so maybe it's different, but after its racked once or twice what sediment is there is usually very fine and if you pour it correctly (some into a glass, then roll the bottle...

Well, i'm sure in my future i may purchase some kegging equipment, but for now i'm hoping to carbonate in bottle. or in bigger bottle then transfer to smaller. I have also considered, hesitantly, but have considered the premature bottling if i can get it just right. i know, i know its dangerous...

yeah, i was thinking the same thing. i'm going to try a few different methods for carbonating before putting it to the mead. one thing i did as a science project in grade school was carbonating fruit with dry ice. i put the dry ice in a styrofoam cooler that seals itself, but isnt quite air...

biochemedic, you're making a caramel quad? you sir, are my hero

i was thinking of experimenting with something along the lines of what these kids did only on a slightly more sanitary and larger scale maybe doing this method in a 3 gallon carboy and transferring directly into bottles. nothing will be sealed while the carbonation is happening. looks like a...

my plan is to carbonate it with the dry ice prior to bottling, therefore giving it no opportunity to over-pressurize. the dry ice will be long gone before the mead touches the bottles. i do like the idea of a complex sweetener, but i don't want to add any kind of unnatural or off-flavors...

To be honest, it was the last push i needed to get started making mead. I've had it before and thought it was delicious. Over the years i haven't been able to find a good place that is close and also sells it, so i've been considering making it for quite a while. Started playing skyrim and...

thanks for the great responses! i have considered using dry ice to carbonate, as well. anyone have any experiences with this? i figure if i put in some dry ice in a partially air tight bucket, it will carbonate it enough and should turn out fine without effecting flavor or making bottle bombs an...

Right, but come bottling time, shouldn't the process of fermenting be over? Meaning that either the sugar or the yeast is done for? If you have 2/2 of them left then the fermentation process is still happening, am i correct? And if the alcohol content is too high for the yeast to handle, then...

So I have three batches of mead going right now and have never made it before. I've tried it at the renaissance festival about 6 years ago and i absolutely loved it! The only think i can think of that I, as a new mead maker can't really wrap my head around is the way to carbonate. If you are to...

i'd like to get a print of that and put up near my fermenter at my house. looks quite nice

I came across this thread and joined this group to show you guys the label that i put together today for a blackberry/blueberry mead that i just started this past weekend. Let me know what you think. I'm going to be doing a whole bunch of batches this year and i have lots of ideas for skyrim...
