Hi there- thanks for your feedback - after bottling back in march, we opened a bottle (I used 750cl) and wow had it changed for the better. Strong, but smooth. It was the hit of the party !
But I ask- I started 5gal pail on Jan 28, with an sir loc lid of honey oranges, raisins and a pkg of champaign yeast. Yesterday the bunking had stopped. So we racked to a glass Carnot with another air loc. virtually no bubbling.
What next?
Help!
I just made my first attempt at mead- but I was hoping someone with experience could help me out with some questions?
Is 2-3 weeks the standard first fermentation?
Also I used a 5 gal pail with airloc - so I can't see what's going on- do I need to ?
Could I open that pail to look or wait to...
