I’m interested in any organization for promoting the brewing and
consumption of mead. Are there any New Mexicans interested in
getting together and exchanging mead lore and expertise?

Ok. I had five 5-gallon carboys started over the same weekend. Kept at the sam
e temperature, same location, given the same car
and so forth. One of the batches has mysteriously gone still.
Tupelo honey & Epernay II yeast. It was dropping down quite nicely
until it hit about 6% alcohol potential remaining (SG 1.050) and it’s
been there for well over a week. No bubbles, no nothing. I re-racked
into a fresh carboy with new yeast, yeast energizer, as well as some
nutrient. Nada. Nothing. Zip.
I can certainly use the stuff in its present form as a rather sweet
still mead, but I’d prefer to kick it back into action and bottle it
sparkling.
So…any new and improved ideas on jumpstarting a batch?
