It's definitely floating, I thought it would bottom out at first, but it's definitely afloat

Yo, super helpful, thank you so much!

See, I've heard so many different fermentation times, that's why I had to just break down and come to a forum, because I was worried at first, but with the heavy carbonation, that makes me think the CO2 from the yeast is prevalent. So I really just came on here because I mean between the weird...

So the Brix is right on the 35 line, it's heavily carbonated which makes me think the yeast is processing, it's just you figure that the hydrometer would sink lower than what it's sinking. I'll try increasing the temp in the space where it is, but by smell, taste, and carbonation, it seems to be...

It's had that reading since the start, maybe one or two notches down since then, but it's been reading at that level consistently. I've got it at about 57 degrees, but like I said, it's showing signs of fermentation, but the hydrometer is confusing me a bit.

So, I started a Mead brew about a week ago, I used about 12 cups of honey, and approximately 3 gallons of water, a packet and a half of D47 yeast, and about a 1/2 a Tablespoon of yeast Energizer. I was worried because the recipe said you should see some fermentation in the first couple of days...
