Been working on my first batch of mead and began on 11/9 with an OG of 1.100. Recipe was 3lbs of Orange Blossom Honey to 1 gallon of water. I rehydrated yeast and mixed 1tsp of yeast nutrient into the must before pitching. I also mixed 1/2 tsp of yeast energizer at 24 hours, 1/4 tsp at 48 hours and 1/8 tsp at 72 hours. SG was dropping pretty quick but on 11/15 it was at 1.040 and I got 1.040 again tonight. Is this done fermenting at 7.8% and a sweet mead or should it have fermented lower? I was under the impression it should have went down to 1.000? Any advice or tips would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
