I decided to try my hand at mead
I did the following boiled
-4.5 gallons bottled water for 5mins
- let it cool to 190F
- mixed the following honey in
6 lbs Orange Blossom
6 lbs Buckwheat
3 lbs Carrot Blossom
Then I covered the pot let it cool overnight, then the must in a carboy and pitched 2 vials of WLP720 (Sweet Mead Yeast)
I have bubbling in the airlock (started 48hrs) later.
Now 4 days into fermentation. I see a huge mass floating
