Ripples
The mead is doing well. It has a nice foamy top, you can see small bubbles working their way up from the bottom, almost like a boiling pot.
I think I’m more excited about the process, than the actual outcome. I’m sure eventually, it won’t be exciting. It probably won’t be exciting if I make another batch of it, or a wine, or a beer, or anything that ferments…
For now, I can just sit and watch the bubbles. They race up, zipping from the point they form, until they burst at the top. It’s like a soda, with unlimited carbonation. It looks completely unnatural, but I know it’s what yeast has been doing for thousands of years.
I left work at 1pm today, and played a little on the PC, and slept off and on. I think the late nights are getting to me finally.
