Miriam,
Now look what you've done!!
They'll be impressing their friends at the next mead party with their new big word.
OR WORSE, something like "you want to come to my place and taste my chapitalization" ;D

So, would it be okay to steal "chapitalization" for mead making purposes to refer to feeding the yeasties after the initial must has been whipped-up, or incrementally? I love impressing my friends and neighbors with my vocabil...vocalab...vocoloco...words!

Chapitalization, from the Latin . . .
chapulere: to chap one's lips when adding sugar or honey to grape must. Greek capiolos the sound made from licking ones lips in anticipation.
Common usage:
I chapilize
You (familar) chapilate
You (formal) chapilate
We chapilize
He, she, it chapilates
They chapilate
Vocative usage:
I didn't chapilate that wine!
We were all chapilating our wine!
If John chapilated that wine he never told me about it!
Slang:
John chapped that wine real good.
If Penelope hadn't chupped that wine we'd have all been in trouble.
Ebonics:
I tol' you I didn't chapamalate dat damn wine.
Texas:
I was jest fixin' ta chapamate that wine.
California:
Dude, was that wine, like, chapalated?
Anyhow, couldn't resist.
cheers,
Oskaar

I miss crawfish season already. I may have to brew a nice hoppy braggot to pair with spicy crawfish next year!
I have a black cherry melomel that I made a couple of months ago. I used black cherry nectar and white honey with just a little spice as to not impinge on the cherry flavour. Sorry I cannot give you any specifics about S.G. and O.G. as I don't bother with these readings. I am more of a hands on kinda mazer. I treat mazing like cooking, I go with what I like and adjust as I go. I do document all my batches so I can either re-create or adjust recipes as I go. It has worked for me so far.
