When did you start it?

first on 12/30/06, and second on 1/20/07. 5 gallon batches. 15 lbs
clover honey, 1tbsp gypsum, 4 tsp acid blend, 1/4 tsp irish moss, 1 oz
rehydrated champagne yeast. boiled 15 minutes. the second batch i
put 9 inches of cinnamon sticks in last 3 minutes of the boil.

first batch started at 1.115, and was at 1.082 on 1/14. small bubble
ever eight seconds or so now.

second batch started at 1.117. lots of bubbles every 7 seconds or so
now.

If you boiled, I hope you skimmed.

Now, in jelly making when ya boil and skim, you add a pat of margarine
or butter to help ease the skimming process--do you also do that with
mead?

i bet if yer CrAzY you do.

Hot buttered rum is good. Why not hot buttered mead?
