hey fellow homebrewers, so I’m making a sweet strawberry mead and I think I added too much fruit and honey and not enough water. It’s only been 2 days into fermentation and I realized this is only going to yield maybe 2 liters of mead at most. Is it too late to add a bit of water?
 
Are you winging it and just using some of this and some of that? You can always add water, but not knowing how much of the other stuff you used, you might not get what you were looking for.

Generally you can add water any time you want. Some consider it a little risky for infection, but that's probably only a slight risk. And not much more than just opening the FV to peek at what going on inside.
 
Do you have some guesstimates of how much you have used as well as what other things went into your process as well as what yeast you used?
