what can i use as an alternative for an airlock?

[epicfantasy]

@kopekdess Poke a pinhole in a balloon and use that. It works.

Love your videos Mr. Fantasy.........quick questions........can you use Fleishmans bread yeast for your cherry recipe? I used it for your ancient orange recipe....

[epicfantasy]

@mrjc12 It sure would be ok!

[Ziggybrew]

With ANY fruit, is 1# per gallon a good rule of thumb? I have a lot of blackberries.

[epicfantasy]

@Ziggybrew yes, thats a good rule of thumb. You can always tinker with it from there by taking the fruit out early or leaving it longer . It adjusts the flavor.

@tblbaby lol, ok. The world will end in 11 months so you will have two months to enjoy your mead!

If you are using yeast nutrient and yeast energizer, do you need the orange juice?

@epicfantasy Thank you very much Mr. Fantsy.......and please keep making new videos!! Give us updates and first pours!! Gonna try you cherry recipe with Fleishmans

@Marsupium It's not a good idea to drink the mead prematurely. Give it time.
