have not yet.. trying not to introduce oxygen if i can help it...

i peeked in through the airlock hole, then dumped the yeast in. i really need to get a wine thief.

we'll open it tomorrow, get a final reading and see how it's doing.

i know what it was when it came out of secondary, but not what it was at the start due to broken hydrometer. it's been in there plenty long (over three weeks now) to be fermented out.. i've been giving it more time since the oak takes a bit to add flavor.

Responses:

ok, but don't even think about bottling without checking. we've had several batches turn explosive if they weren't done fermenting. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 12:11 2
- i'm more worried about the mead.. holy crap that brewed long and hard. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 12:15 1
  - er.. fermented. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 12:17
