Is it too late? I've only got space to make a one gallon batch as well, any advice? I'm still pretty new to beer brewing and making mead.
Since sweet potato have a lot of starch/carbohydrates to it. Would it be useful in a mead to use amylase enzymes to help break down the complex sugars for consumption by the yeast? Summersolsrice, if you did not use enzymes to break down the starch did you have any issues with clearing or such?

I made a sweet potato pie mead, very similar to pumpkin pie, several years ago in March and drank it for Thanksgiving. I still have a bottle left.
