Hello!
Im a newbee and had a couple of quick questions. I started my mead about a month ago, and I was wondering when the best time to rack. I was fermenting in a 5 gallon glass carboy, and Im still getting a bubble every 7 seconds or so in my airlock. I was bad and never checked my hydrometer reading at first.
I also have a small batch (1 gallon) of a cranberry-juice based mead that has never seen more activity than 1 bubble/8 seconds in the airlock...I threw some yeast energizer in to try to get things going. Do smaller batches take less time, or is it all in the recipe?
any hints?
thanks!
