I took a reading, however I don't believe it was accurate. Mine was 1.070, but according to the Got Meade calculator, I should be around 1.091. This is my first attempt at mead. I plan to rack onto about ten pounds of blackberries. I should end up around 13%.
How do you get a SG reading on a must like that, though?
you don't. you guess

sounds like it was just not stirred in enough. i've had to get in and mash up the honey on the bottom by hand before it would dissolve.
It seemed to be evenly mixed when I started. It's been two weeks and the colors have lightened quite a bit, and the airlock is still bubbling away. I'm going to wait until it slows down before I take another reading.
