Bottling day made about 27 bottles also poured out my last bottle of BlackBerry mead from last year i see why you guys wait now its so much less sour. I put to much malac asid so it was so sharpbut not no more

Yaa i think you have a point there. Didnt think about the temp aging it faster ill have to look into that. My lil brother sugested using sound osolation to make it age faster but i dont know how well that would work because it would also oxidise faster

I dont know if my apartment allows extra fridges i would have to check my lease but thats a good idia

Thats a good idia i put my bottles in a box and cover it in towels then store them under my bed like some kind of goblin. I got a unused tote in my closet and it should fit under my bed plus if anything leaks or spills the tote will contain it better then cardbord. The seting bottles aside to...

So ive come to realization that i dont have a good spot to store my mead and keep ot cool once i bottle it. Sence i dont have a/c and i live i. Oregon were the temp can be 70 and the next day be almost 100 degrees. What can i do to keep it cool and in a dark area. The only thing i can think of...

Added vanilla bean to the ube batch. I took kite string and tide up the bag with the bran and a glass blob you see in people's garden. All cleaned and sanitized of course. And i left som string on the outside of the jugo so i can just pull it out in a month

Reracked my straw-pinapple mead and did a bit of tast testing. The strawberry-pinapple tast good might add some honey to back sweeten. The ube one i think im gana add vanilla bean to it and some honey to back sweeten it as well. Its a lil bitter for my taste. But there loades better thrn my...

Good to know

A week well shoot ive left it in for almost a month now maybe i should pull out the fruit and rerack it to a new clean carbo because theres another layer of yeast hulls but i dont know if thats from new fermenting or from my first time racking because my racking cane slipped and suck up some...

How long shoould i let my mead age with the fruit. Also sence the pineapple flaver fades after a year could i add more pineapple after i pull out the current fruit?

Ya i wonst planning on aging longer then 6th months. Im a lil to inpatient. But i do plan on setting aside 2 16oz bottles aside to age for a year to see how diffrent they tast

The amount of oxigen that can reach it hope it works but well find out in about 2 months

Ok so i reracked my ube mead and added a bit more extract at the flavor was more suttle then i wanted i do realize this could be a mistake as it might over power everything as it ages but future me will worry about that. I did strawberry and pineapple for my other batch about 3.25 lbs. And i put...

Should i transfer my mead to new clean containers because theres a a good layer of the dead yeast on the bottom. Or would it be better to make sure there not still fermenting

Ok so its been about 1 month i too a gravity reading for both jugs one was at a 1.15 and the other at 1.1 i believe they are done fermenting but i will wait a week before confirming that. The green one that. Put the be extract has lost most of the flavoring from the extract so i will add a bit...

Update so far about 3 weeks in the yeast has slowed down considerably but still fermenting cana check gravity tomarrow. But my mead with the ube extract turned green i think yeast yeast absorbed the color because the the silt at the bottom has a purple color to it

Also thanks for the advice.

I got a racking kane and ive used it on my last batch to bottle and to transfer my mead to another carboy to get rid of the dead yeast hulls. But last time i did i didnt know how to get the last bits without grabing some of the yeast so a few of my bottles turned out bitter. Is there a way to...
