Recipe:
3 lbs local honey
2 cups Simply Apple juice
3/4 gal water
1 packet of fleischmann's yeast
Problem: My first batch of mead was bubbling after a few hours but this batch seems to be pretty still after 48 hrs. The only thing that I changed in the recipe between batches was the apple juice and the yeast. Previously I used Lavin D47. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a similar recipe and if it is just the yeast being a slow start or if the apple juice may have killed my yeast for some reason.
