Good Afternoon Everyone,
This is a great site and I hope to become an active member....
I have just completed my first two 1 gallon batches of very simple Mead.. they have been racked into carboys and am letting them do their thing...
I do have a couple questions...
Aeration.... I was not aware that you should stir the must for the first few days.. I will do that from now on.. do I really need a Lees stirrer.. or can I use my s/s spoon I use for starting my batches....
Clearing Mead... I have read that Mead will clear over time.. but some batches just wont and there are clarifying agents for sale.. what are peoples thoughts about them?? any suggestions???
Thank you,
Kody
