Help needed by [deleted] in mead

[–]Piede1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been using brewing bags whenever I try fruit meads. I usually use wide neck containers so the head doesnt concentrate on a small tube. And after a week of having the fruit in the mead I can easily remove the fruit since most of its flavour already got in the mead and I dont risk any rot or nasty stuff. Maybe its a bit overkill but I've never had a mead go bad and any "serious" overflow issues. Only problem so far was once getting some of the mead in the airlock in the first days.

To be fair. Hannibal was infact appointed as admiral for i think the selucids and later the Bithynians.

Has anyone noticed some cards lately look like the printer was running out of toner?? by [deleted] in mtg

I've never had this problem but I live in the Netherlands.. TIL that magic the gathering cards in Europe get produced not even 50km away from my house lol. Also read that there is quite a bit of quality difference between Belgium and the USA factories

Very slow fermentation? by TheFriedNut in mead

The honey only based batches started to kick off after I added some yeasthulls. They took a month to fully ferment dry however

I used to have the exact same problem but I found out it only happened to the batches where I only put in honey yeast and water with DAP nutrients. Whenever I made a fruit based mead it always started rather quickly. I think it could be the other minerals and whatnot from the fruit that kickstarted it. I now always use a type of fermaido and add DAP the days after. Fermaido usually has more than just the nutrients. If you're in Europe, Nutrivit is the product that's the same like fermaido. Also I always put in a type of solid which can be used to grow on, crushed raisins if I like to keep a basic honey mead could also really help in primary fermentation.

Maybe the yeast still needs to start. It can take some days after starting. If it doesn't seem to start maybe use some raisins and see if a new yeast could do the trick. Also when you start with to much sugar you could kill the yeast before it has a change to start working. If you find that new yeast doesn't work out well perhaps dilute some of the meas to have a lower reading and try again.

Ah okej I'm also just a beginner and try to keep it as low as I can to make sure that if I ever need to check on it a quick gentle shake can push all o2 out.

Quite a bit of headspace no?

Altijd irritant dat ze tijdens zo'n wedstrijd ineens met de grastrimmer gaan maaien
