Just aerated the 6 litre batch of "clearing out the cupboard" mandarin melomel that I started last weekend.
Despite just chucking the ingredients into the bucket, giving it a stir and then sprinkling the yeast (Lalvin D21) on top, I calculate that the lag phase was 2 days or so, it's still hit the 1/3 sugar break from an original gravity of 1.130
I've no idea about how much residual sugar it'll have, as the D21 is good for about 16% ABV, but a 130 point drop would be about 17 and a half.....
Have to wait and see eh?Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

I totally forgot that you were away. Ran out of gas for the keg on Friday and was going to a BBQ on Saturday. Mad dash down to KElly of Cults at 18:30. Made it there with 2 minutes to spare.Originally posted by Rich View PostSat in Hotel Loosen, in the Mosel valley, Germany Home next week! Good week away on the bike to the Nurburgring.
Mini-cornelius went down a storm. We were all sat round a fire having drinks and folk just topping up the glass from the 3/16 hose. Quality times!Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here?
