I put yeast that can have the ABV go to 18%. So close to that i guess.

How long would you suggest aging? I am not a very well versed in meads.

I have just pitched the yeast and nutrients however i didnt read the article i was following for nutrient doseage all the way through and pitched the whole measurement of nutrient at once. What should i do about this issue?
