Did you add yeast nutrient and yeast energizer?
I have learned to use both according to package directions to get
meads to ferment well. I have not used D-47. Cotes de Blanc
and Wyeast sweet mead yeast are both reported to be Epernay II.
I have used the sweet mead yeast and it needed the energizer and
nutrient.

question.
I rehydrated and pitched a packet of Red Star Cotes de Blanc in a one gallon
batch about 3 days ago and it doesn't seem to be doing much. There are
bubbles going through the air lock, but very slowly. In comparison, a 1
gallon batch I made last month with Lavlin D-47 took off quickly and is still
bubbling pretty good.
Is Cotes de Blanc slow and less active?
