Recipe 1: Cyser with rosehip (continued 5) - ...bugger

Like a little boy I was getting up during the night to see if the bubbling had started. Not much happened but in the morning the lid was bulging a bit and the airlock seemed like it was almost going to release it first bubble - yes.

Best as I thought that I had successfully started the fermentation again, the pressure in the fermenter slowly went down, and the water level in the airlock evened out - as if the gas is let out of a ballon. 

--- so close but no cigar ---

I do not think that the mead is not going to ferment any more. I will attempt to clear it (again!) during the coming week, and then leave it to mature. 

My best guess is that the earlier used yeast was still active and had killed of the newly added yeast.

All I can say is: "Bugger"
