# Schedule — Apple Honey Butter Mead
> Batch started: **2026-08-29 15:29 EDT**
> Elapsed time uses pitch/mix time as T+0. Reminders are set for **9:00 PM EDT** where practical.
| Elapsed time | Calendar date/time | Reminder time | Task |
|---|---|---|---|
| T+0h | 2026-08-29 15:29 EDT | now | Brew day / mix / OG / pitch. Record apple juice, honey, volume, temperature, and gravity. |
| T+24h | 2026-08-30 15:29 EDT | 2026-08-30 21:00 EDT | Check active fermentation, gently degas if active, add ~3.75–4 g Fermaid O if appropriate. |
| T+48h | 2026-08-31 15:29 EDT | 2026-08-31 21:00 EDT | Degas gently and add ~3.75–4 g Fermaid O. |
| T+72h | 2026-09-01 15:29 EDT | 2026-09-01 21:00 EDT | Degas gently and add ~3.75–4 g Fermaid O. |
| T+~120h / Day 5 | 2026-09-03 15:29 EDT | 2026-09-03 21:00 EDT | Gravity/sugar-break check. For OG 1.120, 1/3 sugar break is ~1.080. Add final ~3.75–4 g Fermaid O only if still before/near sugar break and fermentation is healthy. |
| Day 10 | 2026-09-08 15:29 EDT | 2026-09-08 21:00 EDT | Gravity/temp check; note aroma, bubbling, and taste if sampled. |
| Day 14 | 2026-09-12 15:29 EDT | 2026-09-12 21:00 EDT | Gravity/temp check; evaluate progress toward dry/stable. |
| Day 21 | 2026-09-19 15:29 EDT | 2026-09-19 21:00 EDT | Gravity/stability check; decide whether more primary time is needed. |
| Stability checks | TBD | TBD | Confirm gravity is stable across readings several days apart before racking. |
| Rack to secondary | TBD | TBD | Rack only after fermentation is substantially complete/stable. Prefer a 5 gallon carboy, or rack the best 3 gallons to the 3 gallon carboy and use the extra separately. |
| Secondary week 1+ | TBD | TBD | Airlock, clarity, sediment, aroma checks. |
| Stabilization | TBD | TBD | Stabilize only when finished and stable, dosed to actual volume. |
| 24h after stabilization | TBD | TBD | Bench trials + backsweeten/flavor. |
| Flavor integration | TBD | TBD | Taste/check gravity/renewed fermentation. |
| Bottling readiness | TBD | TBD | Bottle only when stable and clear enough. |
