I tried that twice.

Thanks, RG, I used LD Carlson yeast nutrient and fermaid K. I guess I won't be boiling it down. I was wondering about the unused nutrients, I think I will go organic on that in the future. Always a learning experience.

Very interesting Dave. That's why my mead wouldn't ferment, along with the spices I should have waited to put in, it didn't stand a chance. I should have posted my recipe before I made it, so much information here...

it's not working, there isn't a bubble to be seen. The gravity went down from dilution, I started at about 2 1/2 gallons, and now it's almost 4 gallons.

I'm giving up on the mead. SG is down to 1.080, and the pH is 3.4 with adding water plus all the yeast starters. I'm not going to waste any more yeast on it. However I was thinking about boiling it back down to honey, kind of like maple sap into syrup, Does anyone have any thoughts about that?

I used your recipe 4 tbls.

I let each go overnight. still not a bubble or any sign of fermentation. I have high hopes for this starter fortified with the must!

Hello Dave, I used bottled spring water and the only thing in the apple juice concentrate was ascorbic acid. I have also tried 3 different yeasts, 71b ec1118 QA 23, I also sprinkled some 1118 on top. Right now I have an overnight starter that I am slowly mixing the must with. I hope this works...

Yes, the PH is 3.6, it's been 8 days and 5 yeast applications, and I'm getting ready to dump it.

I will try that, I let the last 2 go for about 8 hours, maybe that wasn't long enough. Thanx for the advice.

Thanx for the reply, I am fermenting in a bucket with a towel over it. I have also stirred the crap out of it. I will try adding must to the starter, I have one thats been going for about 2 hours.
