When you stir up the yeast do you stir all the lees on the bottom of your bucket?

Located in upstate Ny, I will check on your questions and get back to you. I have 3 or 4 locals that sell 60lb pails for $160 guess I live in a good area.This is the first at $150 though.

i wasn’t sure about filtered honey, I have bought different local honey in the past and they didn’t say their honey was filtered.Probably overthinking things again,lol

Thanks for the reply, will this type of honey be good for mead making?

Local bee keeper is advertising 5 gallon pails of cold filtered honey for 150$ my question is (What is cold filtered honey) ?

Once again Yooper thank you for the response,you have been patient and a big help. Now I think I need a drink.

That’s where I got confused, I thought I was supposed to leave it alone after the sugar break and let it ferment dry. My instinct was to keep getting the gas out but I have been told so many different things my head is spinning lol

My OG was 1.103 it is now just pass sugar break 1.069 and now that I have stopped feeding and degassing there is what I have been told is (krausen) foam or froth on top of the mead. This is my first time using dry yeast and TOSNA. D47 yeast. I guess there is no big deal but I thought I would...

Sorry, that’s what I have been told . Ok interject foam or froth instead of krausen with the same question.

6 gallons of JAOM/BOMM 6 gallons SACK/BOMM brings total to 204 gallons

Brings total to 192

Brings total to 186

That’s wonderful,good news indeed. I won’t stress about 76 F anymore.✌️

If you are brewing a true BOMM then you are using wyeast 1388. The temperature range for 1388 is 64-80 F or 18 - 27 C Brey said the optimal temperature is 68 F I personally start freeking when my temp hits 76 F Best of luck ✌️

I was hoping you would reply Yooper, I did a search on sodium metabisulphite and found a thread you warned not to use the sodium in the mead itself because once entered it wouldn’t disperse but the potassium would be fine.That led me to the sanitation question. Thank you very much wise one.✌️

Short question, is sodium metabisulphite ok for sanitizing or will the salt residue hurt my mead ?

Did not think of the frozen bottles,good idea! thank you,✌️

I already have my 8 gallon bucket sitting in a large container to avoid a MEA , all I need now is water,towel,and fan. I think I may add ice cubes to the water,if that isn’t over kill. Thanks alot,✌️

Will someone please tell me how to make a (swamp cooler) for my mead In fermentation bucket. I would appreciate any help ✌️
