10 Gallon Batch
30 lbs of Honey
7.5 Gallons Apple Juice
3 packets Lalvin 71B yeast
2 tablespoons of Yeast Nutrient with Hulls
OG was 1.140 (Too high for the Refactometer to read it!)
Pitched at 69F, Brewhemoth got it down to 62F in 1 Hour.
If I don't Sulphite it, we could end up with a 18% monster, but I'm planning on testing daily after a couple of weeks and then kill off the yeast to leave it sweet, probably 12-14%.
Edit on July 2nd...
At 1/3 Sugar Break...as found on the gotmead site, add some more nutrient, and aerate.
So I added another 10 ml of Nutrient with hulls and aerated a bit...think I might aerate some more yet, some folks do it right down to 1/2 Sugar Break.
