I learned about mead making at a festival over labor day weekend... so yesterday some friends and I got together for a slapdash meadmaking party. We assembled some glass bottles, picked up stoppers and airlocks to fit them, along with a triple scale hydrometer, and had ourselves a grand time getting honey all over everything and only vaguely knowing what we were doing.
Most of our must/wort was around 1.133 gravity, and I just now read about how that may cause the mead to have a slow start or stall fermentation. How much of a problem is this? After about 24 hours, our mead isn't exactly a hotbed of activity, but it's bubbling along. Sounds kind of like rice crispies.
We're not really concerned with having the most amazing mead ever, just something tasty to bring to the festival next year
