Greetings All,
It has been a couple of years since I last brewed mead. I just brewed 5 batches of a sweet mead this past saturday. I pitched my starter, nutrient, energizer, etc. It's bubbling just like seltzer, but NO FOAM. Every mead I've ever made foams, these 5 buckets are all bubbling, not foaming. Gravity is currently at 1.100. I've aerated, aded water, etc.
I wanted to do my usual, which is waiting until the foam recedes and then add fruit, sparging bags, etc. At least 2 people have told me not to worry about the absence of foam... any comments, thoughts, or ideas?
