I started my mead back in May. This is my first batch every.
The way i made them was in a 1 gallon milk jug and 2 2L coke bottles with a tube into a glass of water.
I checked on the mead 30 minutes ago and noticed all the water in each cup had evaporated. I smell checked and taste tested each and none of the 3 bottles smelled or tasted bad. All 3 had the faint smell of alcohol so i am hopeful.
I added 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of yeast to each per a friend who has experience in mead making.
I re-sealed each jug, replaced the tubes in water, and returned each jug into the closet wear i was keeping them.
Has this happened to anyone before?
Have you been able to save the mead?
I create it this way because this is the first time i've made mead. If this works then i may invest in a legit set with the ability to check alcohol percentages.
