Use stable gravity mead only. Bottle pressure can be dangerous if fermentation is still active.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common mead priming and bottling questions.

Can I bottle condition still mead safely?

Only if gravity is stable and fermentation is complete before priming.

Why does bottling temperature matter?

Temperature changes dissolved CO2, which changes priming sugar required.

Dextrose vs table sugar?

Both work, but table sugar generally needs slightly less by weight.

What carbonation level suits mead?

Many sparkling meads target roughly 2.0 to 2.8 volumes CO2 depending on style.
