ok first off it is soo nice to be able to touch base with folks so much more experienced than myself, secondly i need some advise!. This is my first post, as well as my first mead so here goes. Set out to make a med sweet show mead from Ken Schramm's book, all went well initially sanitized all and sundry in my house, even my daughter! Fermentation started 12 hrs after initially pitching the must bubbling about every 3 seconds used 14 lbs wildflower honey from a beekeper less than 20 miles of me. I did everything by the book til i realized i had put in a gallon too much! starting gravity was about 1.089. My question is " should i leave it be, or add a bit more honey?" I don't want it too dry, but i also don't want to mess anything up any advice would be greatly appreciated. Basic recipe 14 lbs good honey 10 grams d47 no heat method by the book save for the addition of too much water,lol
