So we appear to have done something wrong. Our sweet mead is not showing any activity at all. The yeast was used was Wyeast. Below is the brew log so far.
Saturday November 22nd
Simmerered 2 gallons (about 23 pounds) of raw orange blossom honey, and about 2 quarts of water, for several hours
Skimmed off wax until there was very little coming out.
poured one cup into blinder and blended with water
poured honey into 3 gallon carboy, added one gallon purified drinking water. Let must sit overnight to cool.
Added activator sweet mead yeast, activated the night before, and kept at about 70 degrees overnight. Must was at about 78degrees when yeast was added.
Gavity before adding yeats was not readible, as it was too dense for the hydrometer reading.
