Thank you very much for all the information Hounddawg,BigDaveK and Vinny. So really any food grade safe bucket with a cloth cover or a lid with the bung and airlock will work then? And iI would probably just stay small i am the only one that drinks it mostly and i do not have a lot of room...

Hello WMT, I noticed that when you use just a 1gal carboy to make wine that you have to top off after racking and of course you do not have any extra when using the exact amount. So my question is if i was to buy a 2 gallon bucket to ferment can i make 1.5 gallons for the top off in the new...

I just went and got some $13 light white wine to top off all good. thanks again!

Thanks again for your help winemaker81 any recommendation on the white wine i should use? Might try some Skeeter Pee while i wait for this mead to get ready.

Hello winemaker81 thank you for the reply, I just checked the SG and it was still at 1.040 and it has stayed in the little of the warmer room since it had fermented down from 1.050 to the 1.040 and that was checked last Wednesday Nov 30th only 5 days ago. Thank you Biggz

Thank you for all the help everyone!

Thank you for the reply and great information Raptor99, i will look into both those resources. Thank you Biggz

Thank you for the reply Sour_grapes, yes the fermentation was going pretty fast to start. it is still throwing little bubbles to the top of the carboy. The mead is not real sweet but does still have some sweetness left that can probably be made into alcohol. Thank you for the help Sour_grapes!
