I'm working on a system (Its almost ready) that will allow me to monitor my mead. It will include a page per batch I make, including a unique batch ID, the name, the ingredients and a place to input notes on when I pitched yeast and energiser. It will also allow me to monitor PH balance...

I didnt think of thermal issues. Ill have to get some glass marbles and use that to raise the level then use the dry ice gas to top it off

Let me know when you start it. It acts a little weird sometimes. But it will come around. I'd like to see your process and readings

Sorry it took me so long to reply. It ends up not super sweet but sweet enough in my opinion. the cloves are whole, not crushed. Mulling spice is what it said at the store. here is a brief definition online Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions

Ive been doing a little bit of research and I was curious if anyone ever used herbs in brewing mead before. I was wanting to incorporate an herb that promotes deep sleep such as Valerian or poppy, and an herb that makes you dream such as Silene undulata though I dont know how effective it would...
