Important to express it correctly just in case you need advice, then everyone knows exactly where it is at

Well if you've figured correctly Bob, I'd say that a good shaking to is gonna do it the world of good as it's getting down to target just nicely....Originally posted by lockwood1956 View Postbeing a pedant again....

But of course, if there's any pedantry involved you should have typed the reply, on a laptop, sitting in the naughty corner wearing a pointed "P" hat......
I'll get me coat

Sorry, I've only just started using a hydrometer, and I find the markings a bit confusing. Yes, it's 1.02. No action yet.Comment

Well it might take a while to start doing anything - especially given the recipe i.e. the nutrient might be exhausted.....Originally posted by elleks View Post
You could give it a week or so and if nothings moved, then try adding a tiny amount of extra nutrient, something like 1/8th of a teaspoon. Same drill i.e. take some out into a sanitised container, mix the nutrient into the main part, let any foaming subside and then add the other part back into it again.
Or you could just leave it... at 1.020, it's still a hell of a lot lower than the commercial meads I got and tested last year from Middle Farm at Firle. Some of those were like 1.035 to 1.040 so obviously meant as "dessert meads" - very sickly sweet.

I can't work out how, if you are down to 1.020, the airlock never bubbled.
My rough scribblings say you probably started around 1.125 and you have about 14% alcohol in your DJ now.
