Hello all,
First off, I am new to this forum. As much as I liked my old forum, they are all beer brewers and I started to feel that I needed some meadsters to truly interect with, so I look forward to being here.
Anyhow, I made up a must of 50/50 honey/agave a few days ago. I used low heat and added sulfites for the first time, in order to keep more aromatics in the product. However, I don't know that I mixed it properly.
The fermentation is taking off now, mostly due to the agave I believe. However, to my dismay, there is a 4-inch layer of what I believe is honey (judging by the color and viscosity) sitting at the bottom of the carboy, below a much lighter, watery liquid ontop.
Even when I bought the honey and agave, I put them in the same jar. And I noticed that the two didn't really mix, but the agave sat ontop of the honey.
Question : Can I expect the honey to gradually dissolve into the rest of the must and ferment ? If not, what are my options ?
Cheers
