Metheglin mead ferment
That all looks good… check the pH again in case there were any normalizations over time and the SG too. Many folks here have found step feeding / acclimating the starter with the must very helpful, me included. Remember that honey doesn’t have the nutrients necessary for yeast like a wine must...- David Violante

Metheglin mead ferment
How old is your yeast? Don’t dump it just yet. Keep swirling it around to ensure everything is mixed in. I’ve had a couple of ferments that just didn’t take off right away for some reason, even though it all appeared to be the right parameters of oxygenation, pH, SG, temperature, nutrients...- David Violante

Oak Barrel Plunge
Those look great~ is there a coating on them of some kind? Aside from the darker area around the center… I’m curious about any impact on oxygen movement, evaporation, etc… also great jig for enlarging the hole!- David Violante

What R you doing today?
Helped a neighbor with a downed tree from a hefty storm a few days ago. The tree ended up having a honey bee nest inside up to the point of the storm obliterating the tree base. After a half a day cleaning up comb from the tree and ground, and cutting from the base out to the remaining limbs...- David Violante

Carboy as primary fermenter?
A winery near me was closing and among some of the equipment I was able to purchase were a few 2 gallon glass carboys. The owner gave them to me as he just wanted to get rid of them. I cleaned them up and they sat there for a little while until I made a few 1 gallon batches of trial wines, the...- David Violante

What R you doing today?
Between yesterday and today, process 6 gallons of honey from the hives (this took all day Saturday), move a second run cab/Zin to a barrel, clean and sanitize four cases of bottles, then bottle two cases of Merlot, and finally get into the “cellar” and get it more organized. It was a very...- David Violante
