So the lovely apple mead I started on Imbolc and racked on Ostara...died...or so I thought.
My friend "The Mead Whisperer" came by and talked it into fermenting after a little bath of warm water. It was happy again...or so I thought. I went out to get some yeast nutrient to give the little critters a boost and whoosh they were-a-bubbling....or so I thought...and then promptly the whole thing died...or so I thought. I cleaned my house yesterday and thought what the Tartsauce, I'll give the mead a warm bath and talk ever so sweetly to it...and now it is happily bubbling again...or so I think.
Silly Mead.
(edit) Ackkk!!! So being the sort of girl who notices these things I realize that my mead is growing...expanding...moving up the neck of the frickin' carboy...Whoa Nellie!! She's gonna blow!!!...so I take her out of the warm water, hose her down, calm her down, offer her gentle strokes across her amber surface.
I think I just had my first Mead Orgasm!!!!
