I wonder when it'll slow down?

It's been a little over a month and the carboy is still burping away every 8 seconds or so, with no signs of slowing down. I'm wondering when I should rack it for secondary fermentation, as from what I remember reading, you do that when it burps every 30 seconds or so...

I haven't noticed a great deal of sediment on the bottom either so I guess I'll just continue being patient.

Day 10, still gassy

July 3, 2013

Went downstairs to check on the mead. The little guy is just aging now, there are no bubbles at all since the last racking. Maybe I should take a SG reading when we sanitize everything to rack the big batch.

The big guy is still burping away every 5 seconds or so. (is it burping or is it farting?)

Not a lot to report for the most part, it's kind of a hurry up and wait game. Once it slows to a bubble through the airlock every 30 seconds or so we'll look at racking it off the lees.

Here's a video showing the extent of the excitement going on right now.


Ahhh! Look out it's an upright video!
