Id love your opinion on this. My grandpa makes beer and I had been watching videos online so I asked him if I could come over and see how he does it. He does most things by the book but he doesn’t stir at all and when I asked him about it he said he used to worry about stirring but he’s found that the yeast finds the sugar dissolved or not. I’ve had his beer before and it was very good but I wondered if it was different with mead.

Depends on how big your batch is I think, but if it's a big batch like his then I'm pretty sure a month is needed before siphoning it off to a separate container, then you just gotta wait for it to develop the desired taste, which is a month minimum if you want a sweeter and less alcoholic flavor. The longer it sits the sweeter it becomes, I think, I dunno if I remember it all correctly but I think that's how it goes.

Air steel? What is that? If you don't have a filter on your air pump, you will definitively introduce a bunch of unwanted garbage. You can just shake the vessel for 1-2 minutes and it should be enough oxygen for the yeast.
@hersirhakarl210911 ай бұрын
@@Murlockingqc It's a small block of sintered steel, like a metal version of an aquarium air stone, only the pores in it are on the order of a couple of microns across, meaning it's able to more easily put any gasses passed through it into solution with the liquid it's in. You don't use an air pump, you use a canister of oxygen, which being OXYGEN kills any anaerobic lifeforms like fungi or bacteria that might be present in the must. With so much oxygen in solution in your must, the yeast will begin to reproduce EXPLOSIVELY and you'll not only increase the odds of a good inoculation, you'll shave a week or more off your primary ferment time. It adds a hundred bucks or so to your equipment bill and an extra $20 or so to your ingredients tab, but it's an investment that pays for itself in higher success rates, fewer unwanted flavors ion the final product, and more mead per year. Besides, shaking a gallon jug will help, but if you ever want to move past three bottles at a time, you'll discover that it's a cast iron bitch to aerate a six-gallon carboy like that.
