Here's another question for all of you. It is born out of my ingnorance or impatience or a combination of the two!!!
I added Potassium Sorbate to two batches a day and a half ago. The Cyser was in a one gallon carboy. The traditional mead was in a 5 gallon. I added 1/4 tsp per gallon as per the package instructions.
Both are still bubbling away thru the airlocks at the rate of about 1 per minute. So, my question(s) is(are)...
Will the "birth control", Potassium Sorbate, completely stop the firmatation?
Do I need to add more?
Do I need to add something different? (alcohol is already at 15% and I don't want it higher!)
Do I just need to take another swig and chill out?!
Anything you can say to help with the paranoia will be appreciated! ;D
