    Resiny mead

    What is the ABV? Generally you add nutrients every few days for the first week to keep the yeast happy. Sounds like yeast stress to me.

    Classic Band Aid/Medicinal Problem

    I have had this in the past. The smell clings to the plastic and even after soaking it needed to sit in the sun to go. Never used tap water so i can rule that out. I suspect its down to yeast stress? Do you control your temp? Only happened once since i use temp control in hundreds of batches...

    Do imperial stouts always ferment like crazy?

    Using enough yeast should prevent stalling and ensure full attenuation. Also important to aerate well.

    Do imperial stouts always ferment like crazy?

    For a high gravity beer i would triple or quadruple the normal amount of yeast and use beer nutrient.

    Do imperial stouts always ferment like crazy?

    Not a good idea. I would use at least a 20l or try fermenting it cold with lager yeast. Probably still go off though.

    1st time carbing a 10 litre corny type keg

    About 12 to 18 hours. I serve mine at 20 psi. Also Mine are half full so they will carb up quicker.

    Anyone tried this fermenter for beer

    I have one. Super easy to clean and the handle is very helpful. I have glass as well but these feel much safer.

    Brew fridge electrical help.

    Yes, condensation can build up when crashing and drip. I would extend the cable or at least cover it with a bag.
