Sooooooo I attempted to make my first batch of mead today using Malkore's Not So Ancient recipe. I used 12lb honey for a 5 gallon batch. Used about 4 oranges worth of juice added to the must, spices, zest etc....
I put this in my carboy and used a white labs sweet mead yeast. I smacked the pack, waited an hour or so, then pitched.
I didn't really do enough reading prior to this, just followed the recipe and did not take any nutrient into account. Should I run out to the homebrew shop tomorrow and get some? Will it be ok without any nutrient? Is there anything else I can improvise with?
I assume I should see it bubbling tomorrow morning - slow bubbles not like an active beer fermentation?
