The NewBee Guide to Making Mead – Chapter 19: Troubleshooting and Common Questions

At some point during the process, something will either go wrong, or you will not know what to do next.  In the immortal words of Douglas Adams – DON’T PANIC!  There are two ways of dealing with the situation.  First, check the answers below; second, go to the forums.

One point to make about the forums.  They are huge, which means that your question has almost certainly been asked and answered.  Before you start a new topic, do some research by searching through the postings.  You may find the answer you are looking for.  The search button is easy to use and even if you do not find the exact answer, you will read a lot of great information that will make you a better brewer.  Only then should you start a new topic.
