  • You have had some really good replies so far.

    In the mountains realty could mean anything

    • I’ve done winter camping in snow - in the mountains
    • I’ve done summer camping (in snow, shit can go sideways) - in the mountains
    • I’ve done subtropical camping - in the mountains
    • I’ve done temperate camping - in the mountains
    • I’ve done 90 mph wind camping - in the mountains
    • I’ve also done some absolutely drop dead breathtaking camping in the mountains

    As others have said, beperpaired for it to be colder than you expect.

    Are you walking / hiking in, or car?

    Enjoy it




  • 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
