So I just started a new batch of mead......

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/sourwood-dry-medium-dry-show-mead-188662/

The gravity reading I took was 1.090ish.

I used 12.25 lbs of honey, put 2 gal of water in a 5 gal. carboy, added the honey and then topped up with water. Ended up only using about 3 gal. to 3.5 gal. of water.

So I have gotten the impression that my reading was wrong, but I can't find a tool online that I think works well with mead to get a good idea of what my gravity should have been.

Thoughts....
