I have 5L. batch of blackberry melomel and I think it's ready to aging. It's very clear almost cystal clear coz I didn't use bentonite or anythings to make it clear and it taste very good also. And without bubbling the airlock. I think all fermentation has been stoped. So, if I rack it to...

My previous batch is same as yours, didn't took hydro before pitch yeast but the FG is came down to 1.050 and that is very sweet.

I also plan to age my mead in 5 L. mini Oak barrel(American Oak heavy chared) but my mead is dry. I think 1-2 month should be OK as I was tried to age spirit in it, 1 month later the spirit became to Oak color and Oak smell. It can be over oaked if longer.

OK I'll find that app, thanks!!

haha, actually Kon Khaen is in north east not central. There is a lot of good wild honey and not only in Kon khaen, you also can find a fantastic honey in Nothern, Sothern, Central. But I didn't use wild honey for my letest batch of mead because I don't have time to get into the forrest and...

Sorry to revived this thread and bring it to my own question. As a newbie brewer I wonder about the carbonation. In case I finished all things in fermentation and bottled it. What factor can cause my mead carbornated? Can it happen itself? Is the carbornate same as sparkle? Thanks!!

Thanks!!!

Hi All, I have 5 L. batch show mead and just was racked from primary to the secondary on last Saturday. It has been fermented in the primary 30 day with ingredient below. Honey, water, yeast energizer, dry wyeast Red Star Premiere cuvee. The OG is 1.103 I did hydro test and the letest...

I'm considering about my latest batch which it's almost 30 days in primary. It's just a 5 litre pure mead (honey, water, yeast(dry wyeast), yeast energizer) I planed it to dry mead. That can make it to "Peppermint mead" if I add peppermint in the secondary or I can leave still be a...

Can I add peppermint in the primary together with honey? And then add more in the secondary.

I just think about to make mead with peppermint. Fresh peppermint is easy to find in my country. That is just the idea for my next batch. Does anyone had the experience with it before? How to make? How does it taste? :mug:

My Blackberry melomel also took 4 days to stop the bubbling the airlock. At the first time I 've seen I think it went to stuck fermentation but not really. I've seen the bubble in the must still active. It was stoped all activities in 1 week and that is quite fast fermentation so I racked it...

Your blackberry melomel's color is look like mine. I'm going to rack it soon. Beautiful!!

Thanks Medsen. I plan to age it over 6-10 months.

This why I choose Red Star premier cuvee Origin Premier Cuvée originates from France and was specially selected by Lesaffre. Fermentative Properties The fastest, cleanest and most neutral fermenter of all Red Star yeasts. Able to ferment within a wide temperature range: 7°C - 35°C...

Thanks fatbloke.. Actually It's not that hot in my fermentation chamber. I keep them in the dark room which the temperature is not over 32 c and it can be lower if it's rain. No way to get over 35 c in this rainy season actually it's colder during the day and hotter during the night. So I will...

I have 2 batches which fermenting with Red Star Premiere Cuvee wine yeast. One is Blackberry melomel 5L and another one is a basic mead. The melomel has been racked to the secondary almost 1 month and it's gonna rack again soon. I've tasted at the last rack it's quite good. The Red Star...

Well, I won't put the sweet mead into the oak barrel for sure. That is not because I know what is good for oak but it's because I'm not prefer sweetness in any alcohol drinks and the dry mead might be good or not good, at least I'll know the result after the test, good or not good and is not...

Actually, there are a lot of mini oak barrel selling on ebay and I was ordered one 5L barrel. It's up to your batch size to want to age, mine I stated fermentation mead at 5L jug so I decided to order 5L size to fit it, the seller in ebay have 1L - 30 Gallon for order. It's come with charred...
