Buckwheat Cherry Melomel
As with many batches I am making lately, this will be a double batch. Depending on the first tasting I may split the double batch and add more honey and cherries to another 2 gallons, making 4 gallons total.

Three Week Update
  1. The airlock is still bubbling very consistantly. The while thing is very dark and still needs clearing. After three weeks I estimate this batch will need another 4 to 6 weeks in the primary fermenting container. I would like to wait until the airlock bubbles once every 30 seconds or more.
  2. We are seeing a healthy layer of sediment on the bottom. That is all the yeast that have done their job of converting the sugars into alcohol, died, and fell to the bottom.
