Okay, after having all my stuff since about December....I finally decided to get it started (not happy with missing out on 4 months of fermenting, but oh well!). I started 2 1 gallon batches on April 15th. I just topped off with water today, but I'm worried that 1. Could I have over filled it? I have standard 1 gallon carboy and I just filled it to right below the handle. Is that too high? I don't want the oranges plugging it up! And #2, after adding the water, it looks like it's just sitting on top of the honey water. I don't stir or shake to combine, right? It should on it's own eventually right? Otherwise, I'm really excited about this! One gallon seems darker than the other, and the darker one I warmed the honey and water faster than the first one. I wonder if there will be a taste difference? Anyway, thanks in advance for the help! I already got some great info from people on here before, great community!
Finally started my first ever batch of mead, making a JOAM and have a few questions.
