Hi everyone,
I started my first batch of mead yesterday, here are a few details:
1.35L of honey
3.6L of mineral water
Yeast K47
1/2 teaspoon of Nutrients
Banana extract (1 banana cut in slices, in boiling water for 30min and then filtered)
All of that in a 5L plastic container.
I tried to follow the instructions as precisely as I could (I even sterilized my whole forearm with boiling water by accident ).
I shaked the must a lot to oxygenate it, then put it in a corner of my room, protected of the light by some stuff.
It started bubbling through the airlock this night (around 6h after I put the yeast in it approximately).
My question was: should I oxygenate and provide some nutrient or is it too late? I read that I had to do it for the first 3 days, but stopping as soon as it was bubbling.
Thanks in advance for you help!
PS: sorry for my english, it's not my native language
