Hello all! I started a cyser about two months ago (my second attempt at making mead) and the FG seems to have stopped at 1.040. It's sweet but not cloyingly so (to me) but I'm worried that the taste will sweeten more with age.
I used:
Lalvin ICV D-47
6lb. Orange Blossom Honey
2 gallons of pressed apple cider from a local orchard
yeast nutrient and energizer (staggered)
and a bit of irish moss.
OG: 1.120
FG: 1.040
It's been at a steady 1.040 for a good few days now but in researching online, that seems to be really high and possibly very sweet/bad over time. Is there something I should do/should have done?
If anyone needs more info, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance!
