Know the recipe doesn't call for it, but I want to rack it into another carboy to mix it better.
I'm sure I'm not the first or wil be the last. But don't eat the raisins.
After reading about TheAlchemist making drunken banana bread with his leftover banana, I was actually hoping to take all the blueberry leftover and use that for making drunken blueberry muffins. I may still try it unless the stuff is so disgusting that I convince myself otherwise once I get to that point.
my first batch of JAOM too a good 48 hours before signs of fermentation, and even then it never got really aggressive...it just bubbled along (one airlock bubble every 30 secs-1 minute) for about 3 months before clearing and leaving me with a delicious mead...there are no hard and fast rules with JAOM, except: 1. Follow the recipe exactly 2. Be patient!
How long have people waited before bottling?
