Hey all this is my first post and first time making mead.
My reciepe.
5.8 litrs of spring water.
1.5kg of nz honey. 100 % pure but not raw.
Approx 2 and half tsp of active dry yeast.
Approx 25 to 30 raisins for nutrient.
30 gallon plastic sanitised brewing bucket.
Well it was 26th this month i put it down. Took about 24 hours to start up bubbling in the airlock. Its still going to this day but has not sped up at all its bubbling probably once every.minute. getting a bit concerned. I have not taken hydrometre reading and not sure if i plan to my first run. Its still cloudy.
Just wondering when i can tell its time to change from primary to secondary. When i change since the opening is so massive i cant fit a syphon. I have touse the drain tap at the bottom. How do i go about this? Thanks all.
