Fermentation Through Bottling Your Banana Mead Recipe

Make sure your primary has about a gallon of water in it otherwise fill it now.

Just be careful that your carboy is around a third empty leaving space for frothing and foaming.

Let it ferment. Rack the mead off the fruit to your secondary carboy after 6-7 days when the frothing has slowed down.

Taste it add in more sugar if its to dry let ferment, and repeat. When you add sugar and there is no fermentation the yeast is dead and you can add sugar to taste.

Let ferment for 1-2 months or more in the secondary then bottle.

After you wait for the second time you will bottle the mead.

Sterilize and then bottle and cap again siphon slowly so that that sediments don’t get mixed in.
