Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Mead Yeast M05 (10g)

First attempt at making mead.1.5Kg honey in a 5L carboy.Despite the fact that it still hasn't cooled down fully ( still around 34C ) the brew is already bubbling away nicely.I left the recommended 1" airspace between the liquid & the bung - in fact, it was closed to 1.5" - but I have a feeling I should have left more, as the foam's already filled that space !Low-foam it isn't ( but then, it doesn't claim to be )Edited to add :One day on, the fermentation temperature is now down to around 25C.The previously mentioned foaming has now died down & the fermentation is continuing nicely.The real proof will be when it's ready to drink, but that's a god few months away.Edited again on 09-10-2017 to add :Fermentation has died down to the occasional bubble every few minutes, so I decided to check the Specific Gravity.The SG is down around 1.015 ( so there should still be some fermentation to go before it reaches the usual finishing SG of around 1.0 ) which equates to around 11% ABVI'll give it another week or so before rechecking the SG, then I may try adding some more honey or brewing sugar to see if I can kick-start the fermentation and get the SG any lower.

Great easy to use yeast which seems very hardy. The first time I used it I pitched mine first and used this to make a sweet cherry mead which reached ABV of about 16% and is the best tasting I have made.Currently have another batch of straight mead brewing using the same stuff

Good stuff! Makes an excellent Mead.

thanks
