OK, so I start checking gravity now? If it is still bubbling doesn't that mean it is still fermenting? Should I rack it right away or wait til I get consistent gravity readings. I used d-47 yeast if that matters. I want to age this b4 I bottle it.
I made my first mead on 1-24-13. On 3-11 the airlock is bubblin every 38 seconds. Temp is 61 F. all the way. My ? is how long do I wait b4 I start doin hydrometer readings. I am used 2 beer so this is new.
The air lock is bublin every 14 seconds yet 2day. It has been at 61 degrees since it started. My ? is how long do i wait b4 i cold crash it or age it out. When do I rack it off the nastys? :mug:
I brewed this beer on 2-17-13. On sunday i am gonna put temp up to 69 degrees but my ? is how long at that temp. How long should i put it back at 51 Degrees b4 I cold crash? This is my 1st lager so any advise would b helpful. thanks. :mug:
Ok thanks 4 the help. I made this on 1-24-13. I had OG of 1.110 a little low but i mixed it well. I stirred it daily ( I now know what a geyser is, not on ceiling but messy all the same) on 1-30 it was down to 1.074 so I put in the remaining nutrient. it is fermenting at 62 degrees. The air lock...
OK im gonna try this recipe. so once it ferments out can i just bottle in 750 ml with cork or do i bottle in .5 gallon jugs? Will it ferment in the bottle?
Hey mystic I brewed this on sunday. ill let u no how it compares to the wifes red witch is awesome. i have high expectations. get back 2 u in 5 weeks 4 days. thanks 4 all the help. If by chance u have a good sweet honey mead recipe give me a shout if u have time. Thanks again.

why cant u direct drive a elec. moter is this a homemade mill? reduce it get rid of belts chains 1 fourth hp will handle 200 rpm v .035 crush. fill out of a 2 liter bottle vol vs speed.
Does the crusher have to b made of stainless steel? I have 2 2 inch rollers but not stainless. Is 200 RPM fast enough? What about bronze bearings? How big of electric motor(110v)? Any ideas I would be grateful.
