Hello,
I am a relatively new mead maker - I am on my second (almost 3rd) batch.
I have 5 gallons that has been fermenting for about a year - it is a blueberry mead. The original SG was 1.12 and is now down to 1.036 (12.7%). I used Lalvin EC1118. I realize this SG is quite high to bottle. It tastes fantastic and has a nice but not overpowering sweetness. Fermentation seems to have stopped over the last month although I think it is still outgassing. This may be confirmed by the fact that it had a slight fizz on the tongue.
Would I be insane to bottle anytime soon? I like the sweetness as is. Any ideas.
Many Thanks,
Will Stapp
