Been doing lots of research on how to create this masterpiece. I have a JAOM going now but I don't have the patience to wait to see how it turns out before I make another.
1 gallon batch.
12 oz frozen blueberries thawed and pureed in a blender.
3.7 lbs honey. 2 lbs unpasteurized/unfiltered and 1.7 lbs western family clover.
1 heaping tsp of yeast nutrient.
Heated this up to 170 and held for 20 min.
OG= 1.2
Cooled to yeast pitching temp and tossed in re-hydrated Lalvin 71b-1122.
Hoping to finish with a sweeter mead but I am willing to back sweeten.
Where can I go to find a calculator which would give me what fg range I can expect with this yeast.
Beersmith has no clue. Understandable as it is BEERsmith not MEADsmith.
BCalc has this at 33% if it ferments to a sg of 1.0 and my Hydrometer shows only a potential of 16% hence the confusion.
