Hey everyone, first-time brewer here.
I started a raspberry mead on August 4th.
Ingredients:
2 3/4c Orange blossom honey (local)
1gal spring water
1 packet of KV-1116 yeast
3c raspberries
1tsp yeast nutrients
Shook very well, installed seal and airlock
Fed 1 tsp nutrients on the 5th.
shook lightly to introduce new oxygen and release CO2
Fed 1/2 tsp yeast on the 10th.
Did not shake or stir.
As of today, I have no bubbling action in the airlock that I've seen upon inspection. My raspberries have turned white, though the liquid/must have turned a really nice pink/red color, and about a 1/2 inch of sediment has collected on the bottom.
Is this normal?
The brew is in my laundry room with the rest of my food stores. The approximate temp is 68 degrees F. Pics attached.
Any tips for an extremely new "brewer" would be great. Thanks!
