  • Ec1118 is a great mead yeast indeed.

    I'm estimating og to be more like 1130 with your numbers unless the honey was really wet.

    What's the plan for fermentation time?

    • no the honey wasn't wet, in fact it was a bit on the dry side (was recovered from a plastic pallet that wet honey had leaked onto - not that clean so couldn't go into the batch). Being on the dry side it was hard to get to fully dissolve - thus the est on the OG.

      It was 5L of honey and I used the GotMead calc. I'm not too worried if it's on the upper end of a starting OG and it stays a little on the sweet side.

      For fermentation time, I'm in no hurry and I expect it will sit in primary for the next 3 or 4 weeks.

      I'll probably give it a second dose of fermaid tomorrow
