Backsweeten with honeystix?

Anyone try it or have a reason it wouldn't work?

I have 5 1-gallon meads that I tried last night and most need some backsweetening. I thought this might work for adding another flavor to the mead with the different varieties of stix.

Thanks in advance!

Bum link, man.

But it looks like those are just plastic tubes with honey in 'em... at least if I'm reading the description correctly.

link should be fixed, sorry about that. Any help on this would be helpful.

Thanks.

Expensive way to get a bit of backsweetening, if you ask me. Stick with bulk honey unless you like paying way to much for honey.

Fair enough, how much honeey should I add to a one gallon jug to backsweeten (on average-obviously it depends on what it is and my tastes-but just looking for a ballpark). Thanks again!

Depending on your hydrometer reading, I usually start with about a 1/3 of a cup and go from there. I like it a bit sweeter than most.......1.02, also depends on the tannins.
