Making a traditional mead to rack onto some peaches when done.
Seems like it is working rather slow.
Put together on 7/17/16
8.25 lbs clover honey
3 gallons water
3 tsp. Diammonium phosphate.
3 grams Fermaid-K
O.G 1.085
2 packages D-47. Re-hydrated per package instructions.One was probably a year old but stored refrigerated. The other was new.
Current gravity is 1.045. Acidity 3.6 (About 4.0 on 7/20). Expected this to be further along after seven days.
Fermenting this in a cooler at 61-65F. Too cold?
What do you think?
All the Best,
D. White
