Started my first batch tonight, I have previously tried to make apple cider, succeeded in the alcohol department not so much in the taste department. Decided I would give mead a go as it seems hard to screw and I always wanted to try decent mead. I used 3 gal. of clover honey to for a 1 gal batch. SG-1.104, used wyeast liquid sweet mead yeast. Will this yield a sweet mead? Or must i stop fermentation a bit early for a sweet mead? When it comes to wine my wife and I prefer a not so sweet moscato and the like so I want this to turn out not dry and mildly sweet but not overly so.
I am also thinking about adding in 2 vanilla beans in secondary ferment, what do you guys think? Also if you have any other pointers or tips please share.
