| 2026-08-29 15:29 EDT | T+0h | 1.120 | 64°F | | Brew day / mix: about 8 lb honey, a little over 2.5 gal apple juice, about 3.75 gal total volume. High OG; planned Fermaid O total ~15 g split into four ~3.75–4 g additions. |
| 2026-08-30 20:02 EDT | T+28.3h | | | | User reported no Fermaid O added yet and fermentation does not appear to have started. Recommended wait/check approach before nutrient addition; verify seal/temp/activity and consider yeast re-pitch if no signs by ~48h. |
| 2026-08-31 22:32 EDT | T+54.8h | | | | User reported apple butter mead still has not started fermenting. Plan: give it until tomorrow; if still no activity, repitch yeast. Continue holding Fermaid O until fermentation activity is established. |
| 2026-09-01 21:14 EDT | T+77.5h | | | | User deferred tonight's fermentation/repitch check by one day; no action tonight. Schedule pushed one day. |

| 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+~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. |
