I have a 6 gallon carboy of mead going, its at abou1.06 right now and I'm using cr1118. I was wondering about raiseing the alcohol level, you see the 3 previous batches came to 8% in the vinometer. So if I add more honey toward the end of ferment can I drive the % up? At what point should I add it and how much? Any advice will be helpful. Thanks

What was the starting gravity of the mead? From what I understand you can feed in steps to keep boosting the ABV. For me it's easier to calculate it from the beginning, but I'm sure there is some way to figure out how much potential alcohol you're adding with each pound of honey.
