Thanks Flyweed! I sorta figured that but...beings as since im as new as you can get...Im trying to leave nothing to chance. This means I voluntarily have to show my ignorance for the details of Mead brewing. Ive got 2 one gallon batches started and Im planning on firing up at least one 5 gal...

I think I know what your saying now. Basically if im NOT making a melomel, then I should just reattach the airlock after that first rack and let it sit. Its bubbling away happily now so no stuck fermentation at this point.

Thanks CB! This is just a one gallon batch im working on here at this point. Im not sure im following the part about the "extra yeast" Do you mean to say that I should add a bit more yeast at the first rack or no?

Ok, so here is another dumb question. I was wondering...I know I wait until say Im getting like 1 bubble every 30 seconds or two weeks thereabouts to do a first racking. So after I rack it off the leeds the first time is there anything I need to add at this juncture or just reattach the airlock...

Thanks Dan! This sounds great! I bet it will be quite tasty! If you'd like to share your recipe, please know I will appreciate it! This is all a quest of knowledge for me. If I could Id love to sample each and every type of mead one could possible make! The only question I have is why your...

Life is a learning experience and so far id have to say that Mead brewing has a life of its own!

Well! I know now Ive come to the right place! Ive got a lot to read and assimilate now. My gracious thanks for all the great advice! I would like to invite you all over to the "Mead Makers Anonymous" group I started just for these very topics. But of course, thats at your leisure. I am new to...

Hey thank you for all the replies...first off several of you had to make one or two curmudgenly comments as If all I wanted to do was get high on my mead and wear a freaking lampshade. Im 52 and have drank plenty in my years. Im not a kid and if I have a question I would rather have decent...

Thanks To Poobah58 im making a new thread on this topic... Ok, Im a noob I freely admit...but here's the deal...I want to brew up my mead with the highest alcohol content I can reasonably get without compromising the honey taste...Im thinking Id ask in here for some tips and some wrote in stone...

Ok, Im a noob I freely admit...but here's the deal...I want to brew up my mead with the highest alcohol content I can resonably get without compromising the honey taste...Im thinking Id ask in here for some tips and some wrote in stone recipes! So what you old hands got in here? ;-)

Thanks CB! Id like to make a high alcohol dessert Mead. Ive heard you may need to add more honey at a certain stage....would this be at the first racking or later perhaps im missing a step all together?

Well I didnt even have to wait until tomorow! Im happy to say it is now beginning to bubble! I think I dodged a bullet and wont be using any more campden unless im making a Melomel....I made an assumption that the campden had either killed the yeast or may even still give me a slower...

Thank you for the welcome Heinz!

No Problem HB99! Yeah, the selection of commercial meads here in the quads suck as you prolly know. Ive looked into getting some selections from overseas so in the mean time...Ive got time for new hobby and what better than home brewing my own Mead?

Thanks Dragon! Yeah, Im real big on keeping all my gear sano. Im happy to say it is now beginning to bubble! I think I dodged a bullet and wont be using any more campden unless im making a Melomel....

Im really new to Mead brewing. Can someone explain to me the pros and cons and tech info on multiple yeast pitchings?
