Yea, I hear you. Yeast Hulls are a good option, though - they are all-natural and will help your stuck fermentation. That and the pH.

Good Luck!

Yes, "legally" you cannot ship wine via USPS. ;)

I'm not sure if UPS will ship wine from non-commercial shippers, but it is worth asking...

Sounds like a great recipe! I've got a blackberry...

I misspoke (or miss-typed). Yeast nutrient is usually a form of phosphate that delivers nitrogen to the yeast cells, increasing their hardiness, energy and longivity - basically making them better...

Well, "yeast nutrient" is basically a combination of dried yeast cells and hulls, nothing synthetic or nasty. Same can be said about most "yeast energizers" out there. I don't use DAP or...

Thanks for the welcome! Yea, I hope to be keeping my own bees this season, or next if it doesn't work out this season. I can't wait to make mead from my own hives - I am especially excited for making...

Yea, thanks. I had a feeling. I just wish I could find someone, even if it ended up being out of the country, who could ship it to me...

If it's not the temperature, it might be the pH. Fermentation will lower your pH and you might need to add some base (calcium carbonate) to up the pH. Mead can be low-pH in general. You can pick up...

Cool. Sounds like a fun project. What type of honey did you use? Do you mind sharing your recipe - I'm always interested in the recipes! :)

Yea, I would forget you have it there for a while, come...

Hey there folks,

I'm a new transplant to Whidbey Island, Washington (from Seattle, not a long journey, really). I've just discovered this forum through a local beekeeping club member and I'm...
