I just racked some Cider and some Chamomile Agave Mead (excellent!) and got two hydrometer readings less than 1.
The Cider read 0.85 and the Agave Mead read ~0.79. I could not read the mead correctly as my hydrometer label doesn't go that far.
Both are fermented using dry wine yeasts and both are very dry with barely any carbonation. I'm assuming the yeast ate so many sugars the liquid is now less heavy than water?
Both sat in primary for over 2 1/2 months.
I'm confused!
