Just so you know, I was told by Anvil that my order was delayed 3 weeks because of the Swirly arm attachment that I ordered. They were waiting for more Swirly arms to be manufactured. If I had just ordered the 10.5 foundry and the recirculation kit, it would have shipped in less than a week...
Does anyone know the current wait time for a 10.5 Anvil Foundry to ship? I ordered once from the Anvil website back on 2/13/2022 and still have not received a shipped email.
Make sure you stabilize before you backsweeten. It may not appear like it, but there is most likely still active yeast in your mead. If you backsweeten then bottle, you make end up with a carbonated mead or bottle bombs. Just a friendly FYI.
Deadalus, I ended up buying the bucket above. Honey has great flavor. I have only made a 1 gallon test batch of traditional, but I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this honey.
