Mead Journal: Two new Primaries
Jul. 13th, 2011 02:50 pmOk, So I have two new primaries in the works. My basic formula. I used Lavin 71B instead of the normal D47. The reason is that it is summer and hotter than winter in my brewing area. 71B does better at higher temps, going up to around 82 degrees max. D47 is best at 70 degreees or below.
This batch is destined for the chocolate batches, Cocolate and Chocolate Mint, going with very creamy mix by adding a pound of malto-dexterin.
I have to bottle the Lemon/Lime but before I do, I need to delabel some bottles. The ones I have have only labels.
I will also need to rack the Blueberry Lemon into my glass 6 gal carboy from the brew bucket it's in. This way I can watch as it clears, maybe rack onto some sulfate and sparkloid so it will clear quickly.
That is all.
