Just FYI, a ripe key lime is YELLOW but the key limes at grocery stores in most parts of the USA are green and very bitter. I'd use regular persian limes. That's what I always use for key lime pie and everyone loves it including people from Florida.

Here in California they tax wineries more for higher ABV wines so usually only reds are above 12%. I just had a tour of a local meadery and they make 3 dry at 6%for taxes and put them in a different category for their license. Here in cali you have to pay for strong stuff.

I've recently just made a mead using a very similar method, I also noticed my PH wasn't low enough initially so I also added acid blend in primary. My fermentation took much longer than normal and also took much longer to clear out. My honey was different to yours so that part is out of the equation also. I know that the 3.5 to 4.5 range is ideal but I'm thinking the acid blend doesn't react very well with the yeast. I ended up repitching with a stronger yeast strain several weeks later to finish the primary ferment.
@CitySteadingBrews3 ай бұрын
There are a LOT of factors to how fast it ferments. If the pH is in the correct range, it doesn't matter how it got there, whether it just happened or you added acid. It won't affect the yeast. Temperature plays a part, yeast choice, recipe, starting gravity, nutrition, those things can affect it. Ultimately speed of fermentation is not that important, completeness and health of that fermentation is far more important.

A couple of questions: on the first check when it maybe was stalled, should you have done a ph check to see if you were still within range? On second check, if I want to step feed till the yeast stop instead of pasteurizing at the end, could you have step fed it up to say 1.010 to then see if the yeast woke up again and keep doing this till you got the same reading 2 weeks in a row?

It has hints of raisins and other things that I can't even pick out that I know weren't in there.

Odd that you couldn't locate key limes readily in Florida - typically no issue here in Texas. But at the same time there was a massive citrus plague that occurred earlier this year in Florida and parts of central and South America which caused oranges and lemons to cost an arm and a leg - we still haven't recovered in Texas... We were at 59c per lemon until recently. Now we're 2 for a dollar (which is insane.) This may have impacted key lime availability.

Hi, i dont use Lactose as well, but I have been trying to find something to make meads creamier. Has anyone found something that works? I should add tapioca starch and syrup have been somewhat close but there is something off about it. Its decent though. Do a combination of the two and make like a cream. It seems to hold and definitely adds to mouthfeel. I think its the flavor thats off some, but after some time it does separate out and doesnt Look great. Adding at the time of drinking seems to be the best result and you can sweeten to flavor like a whip cream. i even tried fake whip cream flavor, it sort of helped i think. Tapioca syrup gets a bit frothy when you whip It which is why i went with that. Tried honey, sugar, simple syrup, fake sugar, etc. Tapioca or simple syrup had almost similar results one with a better feel and the other with a slightly more expected flavor (sugar) Coconut milk, the real stuff not cut with coconut oil, adds an odd mouthfeel, and flavor is way off Real oatmilk no fillers, dried form or as is reduced to thicken wasnt horrible but again the flavor. Same with almond milk. If you add them at the time of drinking, and make it whipped, the mouthfeel and flavor are not too bad, but the longer it sits the more you lose. Cutting in simple syrup helps make it more creamy than paste or runny The best although a pain in the but, is likely considered a lactomel after adding, and can easily add a bit too much sweetness, is half and half lactose free. I like organic valley. Reduce that down with sugar like you are making sweetened condensed milk until you get it to stick the back of a spoon and you can run a line through it without it covering up. That holds up the longest, has a great mouthfeel, is often too sweet, and after a good amount of time can fall out of suspension. Use the not so processed sugar and it gets a bit more browned and can add some buttery notes. I would have to test with key limes to see how they are each affected, but they all held up to high proof limoncello or ceam di limoncello after they were added. Nothing curdled so that was good.
