1. I've noticed that my primary fermentation mead has so much debris floating around in it.
Is this just the yeast or is it perhaps just suspended fruit pieces or something sinister? Im wondering if this a problem?
2. My mead has also been covered under a towel and whenever I check up on it, the liquid also seems to be moving a lot. Is this also an issue or just a regular part of fermentation?
I cant seem to find any videos of the primary fermentation phase in order to see if what is happening is normal or not :S
3. Do i need to punch my fruit cap down at this stage to prevent mold? Im thinking of just racking to a secondary so that i dont have to think of the fruit molding anymore.
Help is much appreciated.
Videos attached (day 8)!
My mead is currently 8 days in and the ingredients are:
4lb/2kg honey
orange
Strawberry
Blueberry
Cinnamon
Cloves
