Okay... first off, I am not a mead maker, however got bored the other day, and decided to take a run at it.
I stared with about 5.5kg of local honey, pasteurizing into 4 gallons of water. I ended up with about 4.5 gallon in my 6 gallon carboy. I used 2 packs of white wine yeast, and fermentation lagged for about 24 hours, then took off.
I am now at about 5 days, and fermentation seems to have slowed. I just dropped in my Belgium sour blend!!!!
I have a bunch of cherries to add, and will probably do this soon.
I know this is a bit of a cluster, but how long should I rack onto the cherries for?
