I have 5 gallons of mead that's about 4 weeks old. I still have it in the primary (carbouy). Still alot of activity as far as bubbles but i just read that i should've used one packet of yeast per gallon. I only used one packet for 5 gallons and there is not much ''lees"? At the bottom... am i...

Im definitely green. If I add the frozen concentrate do I add new yeast? Thanks

I used fresh grapes. 3 gallon recipe required pot to be filled 51% full of fruit and then add enough water to fill the pot up to 75% full. Pretty sure it may have been 8 lbs of grapes for the (3 gallon recipe) and the rest was water. The grapes were mashed in the water. No sugar was added at any...

I appreciate the help. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out

Awesome thanks. I didnt get a initial sg reading (ugh). After reading your message I did move it to a warmer spot. I'll check the SG reading and like you said once it's dry ill rack it off to a new carboy and go from there. appreciate your help

Great read. Thanks! You may be person that can answer my mead question. I currently have my FIRST 6 gallons of mead fermenting in carbouy as the primary. Its almost a month in and there is still a ton of bubbles moving towards the top. There is very little foam and the must at the bottom is...

Thanks. Im gonna try and add the sugar. If I add the sugar and yeast nutrient but nothing activates should I consider adding new yeast after a few days? And should record a hydrometer reading or is too late?

I didn't any sugar at all at any point. I also racked the wine once into 3 separate gallon carbouys. Are vinometers affective? I'm about to have really bad salad dressing. LOL

I have 3 gallons of white grape wine that seems very bitter and not very strong. It's still under airlock and it's about a month old. Can I add new yeast and more sugar to hopefully increase the alcohol volume? I did not get a SG reading and initially and I hydrometer simply reads "finished wine"

That'll work. I do have a hydrometer I just haven't checked the gravity since I initially racked it. At that time the hydrometer showed it under "wine". Next time I'll note the exact number. Thanks a lot for the help.

I have 3 gallons of white wine. It's a little over 3 weeks old and the air lock is bubbling every 2 minutes or so. Do you think fermentation is done? I did rack it after the first week from a bucket to a carboy.

Im green so im Not sure if im under the right forum. I used a 6 gallon carbouy as my primary fermenter for my first batch of mead. Is this going to be ok? Its been 2 weeks and it still looks to be very active.
