William's Mead # 1
Blackberry Honey
April 12 2002 The Mead kit came in from Williams.I got blackberry honey for the
mead. Steve came over
and we started brewing. Went a lot faster we cooled the pot from the bottom to top.
April 14 2002 The mead is bubbleing in sperts every ten seconds or so.
April 15 2002 Put the water bed heater under the wort to raise the temp to 68 - 70
deg. And put a blanket
around the three fermenters to keep the light out, heat in too.
April 18 2002 The wort is going nuts again. It likes the heat and the extra blanket is
blockin all of the light.
April 29 2002 I moved the fermenter to the heater room where it will keep at 75
deg. It was getting a little
cool in the computer room for it, but it was still bubbleing just slowed down a little the last day
or two.
April 30 2002 Wort is now going nuts after I moved it to the heater room, it is up to
70 deg
May 2 2002. We tranfered it to the second fermenter, and got a sample for us!!!!
June 26 2002 Labeled # 7 The mead has picked up a blackberry flaver and is now
KICK ASS!!! At 18%!!!
