Thank you, that is a great link I've tried a few things but haven't gotten a longer hose yet I tried adding on a hose to my existing one to make it 10 ft but I think the coupling between the hoses causes too many issues, going to go pick up a longer hose tomorrow and try it Is there...

Sorry, had my numbers mixed up as you noticed no, its sitting at about 1.04 right now, and was between 1.08 and 1.1 when it started Even after I added the ec-118 and let it sit,, its "gently bubbling",, you can kind of see it in the picture above My acid level is good, or was good, and I even...

No. No sorbate. I checked my ingredients before I purchase for such.

So I used the ec1118 and stepped it up before putting it into the mead. Next day it was rolling nicely and I thought all was well. I checked the sg today and it only went down .75 from last check before I put the new yeast in, and it's back to baby bubbles. I checked the acidity and that's...

This is what I'm using, attached to a ball lock connect http://www.austinhomebrew.com/Liquid-MFL.html Why would they sell it in 5ft segments if its not long enough to produce a viable product? I'll go in and try to get a 10ft line tomorrow and try that, ugh Thanks

This is my first batch of anything, including kegging. Did my batch of cider, went through all the steps, treated and back sweetened appropriatly, put into two different kegs , one 3 gal in a 5 ball lock, and 2 gal into a smaller 2.5g keg. I did some playing with flavors in the second keg...

So My kegs have hard cider in them, they are both overcarbed. This was my first batch of anything, including kegging. I didn't have refrigeration to start off with and was carbing per the chart at room temperature, close to 25-30psi (forget) I got a mini fridge and put them down to 12 psi in...

Thank you I'll use one of those

So I degassed the crap out of it, and 36 hours later it still has no real movement in SG, nor many bubbles. It has a few tiny ones in the center, but nothing significant, doesn't even cause airlock movement in an hour or two I added 3 more tsp of yeast nutrient as well Either way, I'm not...

Degassing really helps? I have a hand blender with whisk attachment. Will that work?

So its been going for a few days and now it has slowed to a veritable standstill. The Gravity is about 1.5, and there are little to no bubbles going on Yesterday morning I added 1 tsp nutrient but nothing has changed since then. I'm going to add a few more tsp tonight, maybe 2-4 which will...

It seems to be happy now. Tan and bubbly. I'm not afraid to add more nutrients in the coming days. Is there too much I can add?

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=128099 I think that's the thread I started with. Although I changed some stuff. I started with 5lb honey and 4 cans lemonade. Then two lbs of raw sugar. I didn't have corn sugar and was too lazy to go to my homebrew store. My og was less than...

It's more tan and bubbling gently now, which even I can see is a good sign it's finally going. Thank you all for your help. I won't be a newbie much longer with this great community

This is what it looks like now. Is this good activity? The foam? On top wasn't there this morning
