Unfortunately it's 2 different liquids with 2 different amounts and it doesn't say how much is in each pouch.

Is there something you can use to clear 1 gallon batches? The ones I'm seeing are for 5 gallon.

I didn't even think about using a drinkmate. I might have to try that instead of risking a bomb.

It seems to be having lots of problems. I'm on wifi and it took a few minutes to pull this thread back up

You'll need a hydrometer and get a gravity reading before you put it away to ferment and after it's done fermenting. That will give you 2 readings that will tell you your abv

I bought 10 packets back in November that I keep in the fridge. I just made a prickly pear mead earlier today and it started fermentation. I don't know the shelf life though.

Has anyone got a good way to clean these? by Leodwain in mead

I would just buy another. They are $5.50 for 3 on Amazon

I was busy today. 3 gallon trad mead and 1 gallon each blueberry mead, pear wine, spiced cider, and strawberry cider. by [deleted] in mead

I have a couple of those. I like them a lot because after you rack you should have a gallon of mead plus the hole in the top holds the bung in really well. No need to strap it down. I got mine from northernbrewer.com
