Fermentation

[Homebrew539]

Hi all, totally new home brewer here with a gallon of mead happily bubbling away.
My question is...how long should it bubble for? I'm sure it's a 'how long is a piece of string' type question but it's still bubbling around once every 15 seconds!
I started it off 10 days ago.

Thanks for your patience

Could keep fermenting for weeks yet mate , just have to be patient and let it do it’s thing

Thanks Tommo, I'm just happy it's working to be honest

Have you fed it? that can help it along if you feed at intervals. Look up TOSNA I think.

I did put 15 raisins into the must when I started it off. So far so good, I will look at Tosna though. Thanks

These guys should help on your mead journey and entertain a little along the way.

A quick update. It's still bubbling but not more than 3 - 4 times in 2 minutes now.
Does this mean it might be quite a strong finished product?

Looking forward to racking it in the next week or so.
