My first BOMM does taste great after just 35 days….. after first racking it was not as clear as I expected… will cold crash for a week or so… will send pictures of final product when I return (end of June/first of July). Thanks for all of your advice…

What is (Cold Crash)? and why and when is it done? Is it done before or after the first rack (30 days after fermentation)? Thanks

Thanks…… will keep you and all of the forum posted on the results…..

Hello Mr. Loveofrose: It has been six days since start up, "Must" does not seem to be fermenting much (no bubbles in air lock for few minutes) "Must" is in a two gallon primary, SG of 1.00 with pH of 3.6. It smells fine, not much a taste. I am not sure what to do next, I was expecting to have...

greetings Mr. loveofrose: Day four SpG is @ 1.018, with pH of between 3.2 and 3.6; I have added DAP and F-K twice at proper sugar break. I have been fermenting in a 2.5 gallon "open top" container, placed a sealed lid and air lock on as of today. Plan to leave must in this container for next...

One more question… during the 30 days in the primary, how many days will it need to be de-gasesd? Thanks…..

Thanks loveofrose….. I did acquire a graduated cylinder that will work with the hydrometer. SG after 16 hours is 1.096 ish…. balling 22, alcohol @ 12%. I believe I am on target… any suggestions??? Thanks for your time in helping me with my first try at BOMM. Dan

greetings: I am not sure if the first post in the Mead Forum… I made a must in a two gallon fermentation bucket 14 hours ago. I like the idea of de-gasing in an open bucket. Followed instructions for BOMM, however was unable to take a SG reading (not enough depth in the honey must)...

greetings: I made a must in a two gallon fermentation bucket 14 hours ago. I like the idea of de-gasing in an open bucket. Followed instructions for BOMM, however was unable to take a SG reading (not enough depth in the honey must) Questions are: 1: when would I put liquid in the air...

I did fine all all needed at more winemaking/// Thanks for all the help Dan

Was able to open site on another computer…. I will use Birch water (sap) for my first BOMM… Thanks for all your help Dan (northern Maine)

Thanks.. I went to your site, still unable to open… perhaps it is my MacBook… However I was able to find Fermaid O, would there be a difference between Fermaid O and K?? Thanks

My Safari can not make a secure connection to the site you provided. Will try another server..

Hello Loveofrose: Many thanks for the web site link.. if successful I hope to start my first batch within a few weeks. I plan to tap my birch trees in a few weeks, do you think utilizing the sap,instead of water for the mead would work…

I am having difficulty location Fermaid K, DAP, and Wyeast 1388 in one location (web site) … any suggestion… Thanks

I have read the instructions for BOMM, however I am confused about the DAP and Fermaid K. I found one DAP as a Yeast Nutrient and one as a Yeast Energizer. One site no longer carries Fermaid K. Instructions states: 1:2 DAP:Fermaid K at various times. I would welcome any suggestions /...

Thanks to all who have responded to my request.. BOMM will be my first!!

Thanks for the responses ….. I as understand.. once the must is put together (honey,waster, yeast, nutrients) the fermenter is covered, air lock installed, the next day you swirl it about (degas) and repeat for 4-5 days. Continue fermenting until few bubbles per minutes in air lock...

OK.. is bucket covered and have an air lock on it or is the bucket open for those five days????

What do you do to "degas"…
