After about 6 months in the carboy, I have 3 gallons of dry mead that should be ready to bottle (pending confirmation from the hydrometer). I want to do 50/50 still/sparkling. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. I was thinking that I could put an empty 12 oz bottle on my digital scale, zero it out, then add a couple of drops of honey (via the little bear with the spout on his head) until i reach about 1.5 grams in each bottle.
Am I just over thinking this and should just stick to priming tabs? or should I rack it into a bottling bucket and stir in my measured amount of honey? I figured I would just bottle straight out of the carboy as the trub has seemed to floccuate nicely and isnt easily disturbed.
