Mead Journal: Racking of Pear nutmeg and Vanilla Almond
Racking went well. Both of them are dryer than I'd like. I did sweeten them up a little. 2 cups of Brown Sugar in the Vanilla almond, I did mix in Potasium Sobate, a yeast stablizer to make sure that the sugar will not ferment and have expoloding bottles. It may a little but not enough to worry about. I sweetened up the Pear with reagular sugar. It was also dry. Although I may just be tasting just regular astringent. My next batches I am going to record the gravities here when I rack it and then see about calculating the alcohol content when done. As time goes on, I am perfecting my craft with each batch. I think I may crack the Pear and Vanilla on my next birthday, which happens to be my 40th. My 39th is this september 24th.
I came up with less than I hoped in the racking. 7 six-packs on the vanilla almond, and 2 bottles shy of 8 six packs on the pear. Ah well.
Next up, I gotta create the labels for them.
