Hey all, I've got a question about my mead fermentation. My Mead has been in the Carboy for about 4 weeks now, my original gravity was 1.090 and now it has dropped to 1.010
my airlock is about 32 seconds between bubbles.
Here's my recipie if it will help you any
15 pounds honey
4tsp Acid Blend
4tsp Yeast Nutrient
15 grams Champange Yeast (EC-118 I think)
It's a 5 Gal. batch.
Recipie says O.G. should be 1.100 - 1.090 and F.G. ought to be 1.020 - 1.010
My questions are:
I. When should I rack the mead into a secondary carboy? How long should I leave it to sit on the lees?
II. Should I bottle it now, or wait until the bubbles have totally stopped?
III. If I bottle it before the bubbles have totally stopped, what will happen? and what F.G. is this thing going to get to?
It has a good taste now, don't want it to get any drier, what do I do?
