so i just finished up putting together this Carmel Apple Mead from the recipe section: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/caramel-apple-mead-68519/
as you can see at the end of that thread, i did a 1G batch, but got a very high OG. 1.156 vs the 1.120 posted in the recipe. is this going to create a rocket fuel mead? ha ha.. but more importantly, should i dilute it with some water to bring it down a bit? i didn't know if it's critical to do NOW as fermentation still hasn't begun, (only 3hrs since yeast pitched). i'm new to mead, and thought i would ask here as more people are reading these threads! just looking for input before it gets too late, or if it's time sensitive, which i think it would be?
thanks to all! this place is a wealth of information!!!
