Mead batch 2
Asset Tag: https://u.staceyell.com/s0.qgm3C62XcpvXc
Materials & Notes
Second try, using self-sourced materials.
- 1 gallon carboy
- D-47 yeast
- Added to must directly as directed by kit, contrary to technical information from the yeast vendor. Perhaps this is okay since our must is entirely liquid.
- Used less water this time compared to Batch #1, nothing on walls.
- Half a teaspoon of yeast nutrient (Fermaid K).
- Brita filtered tap-water, filled to just below the raised letters.
- 1Kg BeeMaid pasteurized honey, unmeasured - trusted bottle.
- Air-lock filled with sanitizer
Retrospective summary
- Add tea next time.
Day 1 - 2023-11-23
- Starting @ 23.1C
Day 2 - 2023-11-24
- Fermentation has started, bubbles observed in the morning, slower than last batch though. Maybe not enough oxygen?
- Fed yeast nutrient
Day 5 - 2023-11-28
Day 3X - 202X-XX-XX
- Mixed with infected maple sryup while back-sweetening, drank within 2 days because I was no longer comfortable letting it age.
