sparkling mead

Post by jjbuck »

My peach mead has been at .998 now for one week. I see no bubbles. I aerated and got no new fermentation(that I could detect).
Question: What should I use to carbonate the mead and how much? Corn sugar (I hope)? 1/2 cup...3/4 cup ...per 5 gal?
By the way, this stuff is already pretty tasty. Thanks for any help you can provide!!

I've never done a mead, so can't answer your question, but I'll add it to the agenda for Thurs night and maybe we can answer it for you. If not, I'm sure we can get an answer on line somewhere (Tech Talk will probably be able to help).
