Hello, I'm new here and to Mead making. I have made a five gallon batch of this recipe using 12 pounds of regular unprocessed honey, spring water and the rest of the recommended ingredients in the recipe, except for the nutrient. I had a 1.082 specific gravity at start up. The bubbling started within hours and was quite busy. Its on the 9th day of the first fermentation and is still bubbling at 20 times a minute, you can see many bubbles traveling from the liquid bottom to the top of the liquid. Should I rack it as recommended..? I would like this to be drier and higher alcohol and not as sweet, I want my wife to enjoy this, she not much for sweet wines or beverages. I plan on racking this into two, 2.5 gallon carboys from the first fermentation single 5 gallon carboy it's in. I don't have a problem with being patient with this process....what would anyone recommend....
