Hello out there,
Being the season, I'm thinking of getting a 6 gal batch of Pumpkin Spice
mead going for next year. Does anyone have a recipe? I'm debating using
canned pumpkin vs whole pumpkin. Maybe 24 oz canned
pumpkin.................Help.

Rob,
I'm curious as to why your mead fermented so very slowly. <SNIP>
Cheers,
Ken Taborek
One other parameter to check is the must's pH. If it's too far from =
4.0, fermentation will be slow. Since honey is acidic, adding calcium =
carbonate to bring it up to around 4.0 can make a big difference.
