I started a batch of watermelon mead last night.
5 pounds of honey
2 gallons water
2 tsp of acid blend
yeast is 71b-1122
and finally 23 cups of dry farmed watermelon
12 hours later it is barely bubbling.
The initial sugar reading was 1.68.
That had fruit in mixed in the tube.
What do you guys think?
I know watermelon can be touchy but I needed to try it. My wife's Grandpa is the farmer.
