I used oranges and I don't know of it's considered early it's 3 1/2 weeks in as far as the temperature I live in Phoenix Arizona my ac struggles just to keep it at 74 degrees and there's always a cake at the bottom of dead yeast about a inch thick so do I stir it trying to avoid the yeast?
So I just took a hydrometer reading and it's at 1.000 and I smelt it and it has a faint fart smell to it I was making a orange blossom mead did all my sanitizing and everything it's been fermenting for 3 weeks now is it supposed to smell like that?
I usually get a bottle of mead on the weekends from a wine store on my way home from work Friday but that's all a processed mead from a store and I know I like it a bit on the sweeter end but that tends to get woxsive buying from the store lol , maybe I'll switch up to 5gal later on once I get...
