Hello everyone, newbie here .Please help!
Fermenting a small 2 gallons of water with 5LB Strawberries and 5LB Honey. EC-1118 Yeast.OG 1.083. Airlock bubbling like crazy with foam on top of strawberries for around 3-5 days .
7 days later, airlock bubbling is almost to a complete holt and no foam on top of strawberries anymore. Smells amazing today on day 8.Took a Gravity reading at .994. Which is 11-12% ABV Correct?
-Should i keep my strawberries in for the “minimum”of 14 days in primary ?
-When and how to use Potassium Sorbate,Bentonite ?
-Do I have to know about Wine Tannins in mead?
-Is Sparkolloid Powder ,Gelatin Finings and Bentonite going to do the same thing?
- Do I have to use anything ?
-Should I be using any other products to put into my mead?
THANK YOU!
