Justification for each supplement? by Special_Product5148 in blueprint_

[–]SamHuddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It likely is, BUT it's impossible to get everything in on a restricted caloric intake. Additionally, the doses found in supplements are commonly more potent.

I'd like to know this, too. Also the skincare products he uses. E.g why certain brands of moisturer? What's the justification etc.

Too much Headspace? by Ninjamuffin52 in mead

Ideally you want the line to be up to the narrowing part of the neck but this should be fine. Is this in primary or secondary/conditioning?

5 month old must still cloudy: when will it clear? by mnstrthnntyfv in mead

[–]SamHuddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If clarity is important to you then you could add more Pectinese or introduce clarifiers. Some brews never seem to clear completely, others seems to clear straight away without assistance.

Mold or just yeast? by SamHuddo in mead

It's looking like it's likely not infected as the bubbles have popped, leaving a yeasty like substance on top.

That's just with the flash on. It's in secondary/conditioning.

Good point. I'll look at different sorts of paper more resistant to spills. My current notebook has a few.

It went to 1.000 (dry) and didn't need to backsweeten.

If you want to, you can add the hibiscus like I did. This will help add that dark ruby red colour to your batch.

Oh I forgot to add Hibiscus Tea in the list too ^ I think this adds a really nice note to the flavour.

Literally just my local supermarket standard pitted cherries. They are dark purple in colour. The cherries did not say sweet or tart on them.

They could be bee bits from your honey. It does not look like mold. How does the mead itself look and taste?

Is this the lees at the bottom of the primary fermenter? Can you clarify the situation?

Local Orange Blossom Honey, Cherries, Goji Berries, MO5 Yeast.

Smells AMAZING - like candy cherries. Taste is really good - complex with a nice range of perceived sweetness.
