my strawberry mead turns out awful... it's on the sour side. any tips to help? used about 5kg of strawberries for 5 gallons. 7kg honey

is there any use that you can put the fruits to? it seems such a waste to throw so much fruits away. and they seemed to be soaked with mead...

i made a batch with EC1118 before. i added in 8kg of wildflower and the result was something like a honey liqueur. pleasant in a way... :)

Thanks for the comments. pdilley, have you tried the eucalyptus Honey from Superbee before? That's the honey which I got.

Anyone had any experience with Eucalyptus honey? I got 6 kg (13.2 lbs) of it, should I do a traditional or add fruit?

White lab states that the alcohol tolerance is at 15% Could anyone able to confirm?

Thanks. i would only get the yeast end of this month, so you would definitely use it before me :)

Any feedback for white lab's WLP720 Sweet Mead/Wine Yeast? i intend to get this yeast for my next batch. any comments would be welcomed :mug:

Thanks for all the comments. I had actually made a previous batch using same recipe but with Cuvee yeast. That one took 1 month to complete fermentation, hence I was worried about this batch. Would there be a issue with too much nutrient & energiser? I fear adding too much...

i also had some problems with D47. it seems to ferment very slowly. og was 1.128 on 30 May 09. when I take a sample on 3 Jul, it is still at 1.100! i repitched a new packet of D47 and added 1/2 tsp of energiser, but fermentation is still very slow... any expert opinions???
