First timer here. I have a question about my first mead attempt.
I purchased the Skullduggery kit from Midwest supplies thinking it would be an easy introduction into making some mead. The kit consists of 18lbs of honey, 2 packs of yeast, and 3 packs of yeast energizer that is added each 24hrfor 3 Days. The only thing I did that varied from the instruction was to add an additional 3 pounds of honey to fill up the big mouth bubbler. I also added some raisins because I seen some people doing this on YouTube.
Anyways, I had some good fermentation going on for the first couple of weeks, but it is about day 17 and the bubbling has pretty much stopped.
My question is, can it already be done fermenting? It isn’t clear at all. I do see a lot of sediment on the bottom. The instructions with the kit were to leave it for one month, then put it into a glass carboy for another couple of months.
If this isn’t normal, is there anything I can do? Should I just follow the instructions?
Thanks in advance.
