Hi,
First post and total newbie to Mead making. I recently made two batches of mead
First batch, 15L water, 6kg of honey, tsp of DAP, 20g of Mangrove Jacks mead yeast. From memory starting gravity was 1.062 if i end up at 1.0 or less. By my calculation it should be about 8.1% acl is that about normal or should it be higher ?
2nd batch, 10L water, 4kg of honey, tsp of DAP, 5g of Lalvin EC-1118. I dint get a gravity reading hence it'll be a surprise.
How do i increase the stating gravity for mead.... more honey and less water ?
