I was finished the first fermentation with D47 2 months ago. Actually, the temp in my country will never get below than 20 unless the short period in the early morning but that's not enough for D47. So, I was put 5 litre jug in the soft plastic box and filled the water into the box then...

For your first batch you should try a simple thing what I call "mead" It's just honey, water and yeast together in fermentation. Just concentrate on your SG if you don't want it too sweet or too dry.

There is a lot of bungs selling on ebay. You also can choose the size which fit with your jug.

Where can I get the comercial mead to try?

Why don't you put your hydrometer in other liquid to check the differrent? In case your hydro is broken it might show the same gravity in other differrent liquid which it not sweet like your honey.

My mead was racked several time and it starting to clear right now. Just leave it sit quitely in the dark corner of my kitchen room. Anyway, your cyser look good.

Another game you can see mead is "the settlers 6" it's the strategy game.

I'm thinking about brewing some mead like brewing beer but don't use grain or malt just use honey,hop, water, and beer yeast, OG is about 1.040 One thing I don't know is how to make that mead bubbling like beer(carbornation)? After the fermentation finished what should I do to make it bubbling...

That's a very small batch I ever seen haha... Hope it turn out good. You have to make a bigger size in the future if you like it.

I was used a little peice of linen cloth just tie it with the mouth of the tube. This can avoid the residue in your mead from the primary but that is not mean the alive yeast will be left in your primary.

it's very light color but it's beautiful.

My third batch was started last night with D-47 yeast. It's 5 litre melomel raspberry, I was put the carboy in the box with cold water and keep the water temp below than 20 c by added some ice cube. It seem working fine but quite slow fermentation and the yeast still floating on the surface...

Thanks for all replied. I think I will postpone this cyser until I have the fruit press to make apple juice. So I decided raspberry melomel will be my next batch.

Hi all, I'm going to make something like cyser. I'm thinking about blend Honey, water, apple juice, and sliced apple together. Is that can call "cyser" in your oppinion? Another question: I've got 1 litre of apple juice from super market, it's "Florida's Natural" 100% apple juice. Can I...

If you want to make sure that your honey is real you need to collect it in the wood and squeeze by your own hand.

There is cyser you should try. It's honey+apple+apple juice maybe some water added. Actually I never tasted it but I'm going to make cyser in this winter.

I've heard that yeast cotes des blanc is need cool temp in fermentation.

Did you feel the alcohol taste in it? My latest batch is the show mead and I let it sat in the primary for 30 days and once I was tasted it is dry with very little sweet and alcohol taste also. Anyway, sour mead is not mean that mead is infected. You may let it sit in the primary for while...

I'm planing to make cyser this new year but I'm not sure what is the right ingredient of it. Can I only use this below ingredient? - Honey - Water - Yeast - Yeast energizer - Sliced apples Do I need to add the apple juice?

My blackberry melomel also took 6 days at primary fermentation and it's surprised me because it taste good and also clear. Actually the yeast I used is good for AVB 18%. I think there is not enough sugar for them so they stop eating, that's just my opinion :D
