All about the grape juice…
Stuck for an airlock?
So, I threw my mead on and was stuck for an airlock. Couldn’t find a bung anywhere. Wilko.com was closed and me the missus and the little monster were due out for dinner with the outlaws…
Quick Google showed this method and it seems to work really well…

Positive pressure inside the balloon and a couple of tiny pinprick holes means instant airlock. Brilliant. I think I’ll be using this method with my DJs from now on. So bloody simple…
Oh damn, what have I done!!!
So, was chatting to a bloke at work and got a book off him. I read it for a little while and then this happened.
Yeah. Apparently I’m making mead as well as beer and wine now. Basic recipe to follow, probably while I’m out having dinner with the outlaws.
Smells nice and yes that is a balloon. Yes it works. Yes it has a couple of nicks in it to stop it blowing off.
I’ll let y’all know how it turns out in about 9 months when I get to drink it…
