Hello guys, been lurking in the forums for about 3 months. Got excited with mead making and made a JAOM which in 3 days will be making 1 month. (Will be making a homemade smoker soon too )
Haven't even tasted mead yet, but I'm really pumped to make more (really loved making it). Planning to do a bochet next and some other's melomel soon.
I live in Brazil and some stuff I see you guys using is kinda hard to get, like those lovely gallons of pure juice, concentrate juice using only vitamin C or some fruits like Blueberry. But I have a some fruit trees in my backyard like :
Mangos (5 trees of 3 different types), Guavas, Passion Fruit, Star fruit, Jacot (hog plun, red mombin ;not so sure how you guys call it), Lemon, 3 Coconuts. Some wild and tasty fruits (like wild berries ) and others I cant recall the names now. And they might give some good melomel
So I'm going to order some stuff from eBay next month since here everything is pricy as hell, almost 10 U$ for one single Lalvin D-47, 13U$ 1 S type Airlock .
Some of the fruits are really acid and I fear they might kill the yeast or make it very slow to start, so I would love some suggestion of what to buy for this or even other stuff for mead making I might need.
Ty in advance and sorry for my poor English =x
