I'm new to the board and making mead in general. I thought I might introduce myself.

I just put away my first batch of mead (Joe's Ancient Orange) and spent a few days just staring at the fermentation lock bubbling. Then I decided I would have some fun with it and make a short video. It was either this, or continue staring at that bubbling every day for the next few months...

I hope to have a successful batch and jump into the next one soon after that. Look forward to learning as much as possible.


Here's a link to the video I made. I don't see an easy way to embed it here, so it might not be allowed. Hate to get in trouble on my first post!

Well done video, if you can belive this ISN'T the first place I saw it, so it's getting around!! Welcome to the forum Chris!
 
I too stared at my first batch for days. It bubbled like crazy for about 3 weeks then slowed down. Now I am about 4 and a half weeks in I guess and no more bubbles at all(it is sad not seeing it working anymore but it is closer to finished)... so I racked off the dead sediment into some glass carboys and they are just sitting there now. I plan on starting a 5 gal batch today that I can watch bubble away !!! Anyways welcome to the forums buddy .
 
Its like my SW aquarium... I can sit there for hours just watching things in my tank and then I am sometimes finding things I didnt know were in there.
