I was just wondering, if I notice my Ale starting to slow in fermintation
after the first 4 days, is it ok to add additional honey or starch to get it
going again. I am concerned that I did not add enough starch to the must
when I prepared the Ale this time. I used oats and boiled the starch out of
them and removed the solids using a strainer. Last time when I prepared a
Simple Mead my brew stopped boiling after the first 5 days but when I tasted
it it was very mouthwashy so I went ahead and racked it any way since it had
a kick to it. This time my Ale that I am making stopped bubbling after only
4 days and i do not want to rack it because when I smelled the Ale it did
not have a very strong alcohol scent to it. That can't be good. Please help
me here.

Thanks.
