Red Mountain Brewers Update
Pommymel
(That's not a real word.)
IT's BOTTLING TIME! Specific Gravity has been a steady 1.022 for two weeks now, and it's cleared, so fermentation is DONE! We bottle at 3rd Sunday in two weeks.
Batch 11: Tupelo Honey Mead
I racked it into a 6-gallon carboy and there was still 6+" of space. It looks good, despite earlier concerns about some foaming.
Batch 01: Cinnamon/Ginger Metheglyn
A while back in July, I added some sulfites due to mold concerns. Yesterday I racked into a 6-gallon carboy and re-pitched the yeast (2 packets lalvin D-47). It's filled to the top, and looks OK. It will be interesting to see if fermentation restarts. I didn't add any nutrients.
Batch 07: Rhodomel with Champagne yeast
While the must looked fine, there was a black ring of mold in the airlock. How the hell can vodka mold??? I put a new airlock on it and filled it with fresh vodka.
