Mead Pump

We also hit 104 degrees today. Hope the heat didn't hurt your brewing project.

It didn't as hot today like the other day where it too got to 104, only 94F now.
I keep the mead and cider in the bedroom where it is kept 75F, the other ferments are kept in the kitchen at 85F which is the ideal temperature for speed. I have to make large batches in the summer because I keep the house too cool to ferment in the winter.

Get yourself some Lagar yeast it does best around 54 degrees F but will go lower. do you live in an igloo in the winter?

I use distillers yeast because of the volume it makes at a cheap cost and though it ferments at 60F it takes a long time.

In the winter the house is usually between 40-50 degrees, before insulating it would get into the mid 30's and would prefer an igloo over a yurt any day.
