2014 batch 2: Currant mead (8) - Check

After finishing up with the cyser I just did a check on the currant mead.


Oe: 26 (OK)
pH 3.45 (Uh, somewhat lower than I wanted)

The color is great - bright red - and not pink that I was initially afraid of since the amount of juice was quite limited. It has also cleared quite well already.

I need to lift pH a bit which I will do with potassium carbonate. I just need to test how much to add.

Finally I covered the mead with a layer of CO2 (See "CO2 generator" under Knowledge Tools), sealed the lid, and attached the airlock.
