[Gatesedge] Question for your Brewmeisters

[David Jurgens]

Greetings Katherine,

I would just leave it be.  This is a mead and will need to ferment and age
for some time anyway.  In my opinion you do not need the have the explosive
fermentation that you get with beer.  BTW, did you add anything thing else
such as super ferment or yeast nutrient?  I have made a mead with and with
out these and the one with seemed to have the fermentation kick off a little
faster.

Regards

We started two meads this weekend, they are bubbling away ok.  We have
achieved the slow and steady fermentation.  We are missing the explosive
leave it in the bathtub pop you normally get right at first.  The only
think different I did was to boil the honey this time, and it is sitting
in a room that I bet gets no warmer than 78.  Is a temperature thing ?
Boiling thing ?  Should we add more yeast ?

Any thoughts ?

Katherine
