yeah unfiltered honey makes sense, cuz i sourced mine from the mountains in the diff part of my state and it is straight out of the honeycomb

Hello, this is my second batch of my homebrewing hobby and this is my recipe Oct 15 Traditional batch 2 (2L) honey - 570 ml/1022g water - 1500 ml Yeast - Mangrove jack MO5 ~2.5g initial gravity - 1.100 week 2 - 0.992 So I was the guy who posted My mead stopped bubbling after day 5 and there is...

yes this batch i will use warm drinking water, but unfortunately the country where I live in i couldn't source Fermaid O/K and Go-Ferm, I was only able to find DAP. and I need to rehydrate the yeast this time because the last time I just threw it in there lol, but still fermentation started...

here is the picture of the nutrient, the craft a brew recipe kit in which i recieved it did not mention what nutrient this was so i have no clue i was thinkin of using DAP in my next batch, what would you suggest? is there any alternatives?

i see, well i don't wanna use tap water and i don't think i can get spring water either, should i use boiled and cooled distilled/mineral water next time? What do you suggest? also, eventhough i dropped the grenade the fermentation didn't succesfully restart regardless :/

Yes my ferment stalled earlier which is why I added extra yeast hoping it would restart, I bottled it because I would rather start my next batch learning from these errors rather than keeping this in primary hoping it would fix itself by waiting for a long time. I wonder if this translucency...

here is my recipe and gravity readings (I took it today) @Yooper pls check it out too. batch quantity - 2 Litres 500 ml - raw wildflower honey 1.5 litre - distilled water 5 gm yeast - lalvin D 47 (initially only pitched 2.5g of yeast then I thought it died so I added another 2.5g after week 1)...

everything has been mentioned above in the entire thread!

Bottled my mead today as I took another reading after a week and the gravity still remained at 1.024. this is my first batch and it came out pretty translucent with a strong bitter taste and a weird aftertaste(pls explain if this is fine or if all the meads have this). now I have bottled it to...

undrestood, i will wait for another week and check gravity before bottling then, thanks!

i see, this has been fermenting for a month now, as the title suggested there was little to no activity after week 1, but i tasted the mead now and it was very bitter with a strong alcohol bite and burn down the throat with a strong aftertaste followed by a bad breath for a while, i was planning...

guys update! i have invested in a hydrometer and i just took the reading, it shows my current gravity is 1.024, the mead looks transluscent and no bubbles or anything. pls give me your suggestions, i am planning to bottle this and let it age for 3-6 months and start with my next batch. what do...

i see, so if it stops bubbling after a week doesnt necessarily mean that the fermentation stalled or yeast died?

I used lalvin D47. I don't have a secondary vessel so i think I'll just wait for a week and see what happens

so there is a chance that everything went right? then i think i am not gonna discard it for another 2 weeks and wait and see what happens. fingers crossed! thank you for your suggestion

i addded the pictures in the comment below can you check and give me your advice?

here are the pictures, 1st pic - day 2, 2nd - day 5, 3rd - day 10 i did take a taste test just now(i have never tasted mead so you have to help me here), it tastes bitter with that alcohol biting your throat and still smells like honey but i am starting to get another smell aswell..... mead is...

HI, Amateur Home brewer here trying my first batch of mead! so everything was working great till day 5 where i added some yeast nutrient before letting it sit for the next 25 days to finish fermenting but on day 6 i just saw a lot of sediment and a drastic decrease in the amount of bubbles...
