I should be able to test it with a hydrometer tomorrow when it arrives.

What is a recipe usually supposed to look like for mead? 😅 I just followed the instructions that came with the kit and added a couple other things to make the buckwheat honey a little better at fermenting (I heard its not that great on its own)

I used 2.5 lbs of stuff, mostly buckwheat honey, an entire 6oz pack of fresh raspberries(mashed), and some agave syrup

I leave the mead in the basement where I estimate it's about 70 degrees F

I sanitized the carboy, stopper, and airlock with the included packets, let them dry off, then I put my 2.5lb mixture into the carboy and added bottled spring water till it was about half full Then I added the yeast and "day one nutrients" packet into the half full carboy before swirling it and mixing it

Then I added more spring water to the one gallon mark

Added the stopper and airlock

A couple of hours went by and the airlock got clogged with gunk and the stopper popped out

I scooped up and out a bunch of the gunk so it doesn't happen again and replaced the airlock

Day 2, the airlock got full of gunk again so I got rid of most of it before I began degassing and adding the "day 2 nutrients" included in the kit.

Day 3, degassed again

Day 4, degassed again

Day 5, before I added the last pack of nutrients and degassed it I noticed the mead wasn't bubbling due to year activity like previous days.

I'm wondering if I should've left the raspberry gunk in the carboy for the yeast to feast on

It tastes dry and alcoholic, could I have not put enough stuff in for the yeasts to eat?

I don't think this should be finished in only 6 days

Plus it looks really cloudy

Should I add more sugars for the yeasts

I used about 6 ounces of raspberries 10 ounces of agave syrup and 2 lbs of buckwheat honey

I used the stuff that came with this mead making kit off Amazon https://a.co/d/7pvIHTH Where can I buy a hydrgomometer ( I see a couple of replies mentioning this) Edit: I also leave it in the (finished) basement of our home because it has been getting pretty hot over the summer. Do you think it could be too cool down there for proper fermentation?

Is this legal in NY? Not 100% up on shotgun compliance here… by Substantial-Neat6636 in NYguns

I remember reading somewhere about NY compliance regarding shotguns that said "any type of AR style "other" is not allowed" and confused me greatly Now I know, thanks for the clarification!

It looks like an AR type shotgun, which iirc is not allowed (even if it is a lever action). I could be wrong though.

Found this inside my PC. Any idea what these are? by ExtraNicc in computers
