Howdy from Texas

[Murrel Hastings]

I am new to Mead making. I'm currently fermenting my first "Basic" Mead. 2.5lbs of mid-Atlantic wild flower honey in a 1 gallon must. I neglected to use my Hydrometer before pitching my yeast. So it's going to be a guessing game as to the ABV. I will however use my hydrometer to see when fermentation has finished. I plan on making a semi-sweet mead in the ballpark of 1.01 to 1.02. I will back sweeten if necessary followed by pasteurization. I also plan on adding wine tannin and an acid blend during racking if needed. Any constructive criticism is welcome as well as tips. Skål!

Hey fellow Texan. Good to see yet another 1 of us here. Your mead probably started around 1.108. What yeast did you use?
