My first two batches of mead are now 1.5 years old and are excellent. I believe they are dry, heres details of one batch:
12 lb orange blossom honey
4.5gal water
D47
OG = 1.082
FG =0.996
I followed the basic mead instructions provided by Hightest.
Now I wish to start a somewhat sweeter mead, not a dessert drink, but I want to be able to smell and taste the honey. Do I simply increase the amount of honey to say 15lbs or add honey at the end of fermentation?
Does this increase the length of time until the mead is drinkable? Is D47 OK for this?
Thanks, Bill
