I started a standard mead a month ago using White Labs Sweet Mead Yeast. I used an 15 pounds of an Indonesian Floral Honey and water to five gallons. My starting gravity was 1.110. I don't have any way to check the Ph but I added 2 1/2 teaspon Ferment K at the start and another same amount when the fermentation was very active. I was expecting the mead to finish sweet, but having never used this yeast before have no idea what the finishing gravity should be. Its now at 1.043 and doesn't seem as if it is going to go any further.It actually tastes pretty good as it is but I would like it just a bit dryer.
Does this finishing gravity sound right? If not, any suggestions?
