Ok. I'll try it, and use a couple plastic bottles.

The other bottle from yesterday - I opened it today... No pressure at all. :(

That's my issue, I added sugar and I can't get it to show signs of fermentation.

I thought about using a couple plastic bottles! I'll have to do that. Do you let your beer sit long after 2 week fermentation? I've let the GB sit to clear it as much as I can. Otherwise I added sugar similar to how you did. I bottled one tonight, and an hour later there was already a pop! So...

I've measured my sugars, in both a 1G and 6G batch of ginger beers, for 3 volumes of c02. I primed in the carboy so I could tell via the airlock if the yeast was still active. (Last GB didn't prime either) Last thing I tried was rehydrating some ec11118, then adding it to the 6 gallon...

Sounds like a great brew. Did you modify the TiOSNA much? In quantities, or timing? I've heard about adding bananas (more pottasium?) -what's your experience with using them vs without? Thanks!

Last night I added a packet of D47 btw. Rehydrated at proper temps, tempered, pitched, etc. Tap water. Pretty sure I did that right.

Yeah, today I can hardly tell that I added any yeast. It's been a week since I first pitched now. I may try a few days just to see, and if things don't get moving I will bring the brew belt!!

Interesting, and thank you both! I had read that D47 likes it cool, 60-68? I suppose as I'm trying it I shouldn't judge it too much. Another Mead make had said the energizer I used while rehydrating could have shocked/killed a lot of yeast. I added another packet of D47, so I'll see what...

Here's my log: This will be a dry Mead, only 5.5 kg sugar, or 12.1 lbs. Using D47 yeast, and generic nutrient and energizer.* (No goferm or fermaid available ATM) I'm using TOSNA calculations, but regular energizer for goferm, and reg nutrient for fermaid. Dec 10 Softened honey in warm water...
