Has any one made this mead

Quick question in the JOAM recipe it calls for 3.5 lbs of honey. I know that 3 lbs is a QT. So is 3.5 lbs = 4 cups plus 6 oz or 38oz?

Very excited just made my first mead ever. Now it is watch and wait!

Need help ASAP woke up to airlock clogged with orange took it off to clean it out and it exploded to the ceiling.!
Cleaned the airlock out and sanitized it and refilled it. Lost some oranges and liquid!

What should I do?? I didnt think it was too full it was below or at the level of the handle. Should I add more water??

My JOAM is almost complete fruit is dropping to the bottom. Looks nice and clear should be able to bottle very soon!

Do not rush to bottle. You will be glad if you wait a couple months

Ok let it sit for a while longer? Maybe I wait for the holidays.
