Hi,
First off, what a great forum!
I have made several batches of wine, with good success. The process of making Mead really intrigues me.
What do you use for your primary fermenter? When I make wine I use a fermentation bucket with a lid. The lid has a hole in top for an air lock. I normally just lay the lid on lightlyand cover the hole. I notice that on some mead recipes it calls for you to cover the primary and apply an air lock. Some recipes just say to cover the container. What type of container do you use for your primary fermentation?
I am interested in making a melomel mead. Most recipes say that after primary fermentation you need to strain off the fruit. How do you do strain off our fruit if your not using a straining bag?
Thanks,
deck
