It's not a hard number, but there were papers where they measured when yeast stops replicating and starts consuming sugars, after that point it's detrimental to add nutrients, they won't be consumed by yeast and the nutrients might contribute to unwanted things growing in mead. That point is at...

No sourness, it's pretty enjoyable already. The only thing is that you can smell alcohol on it, but I think with aging it will become rounder. I was thinking if I should just bottle and age in bottles or move it to smaller 1g bottles.

So I Put some campden tablets into the mead (5 of them) and gelatin fined and did a cold crash. The things on top disappeared, it looks relatively clear. I measured the FG, it's 1.002

Yes, that's what I referring to. I don't remember exact numbers, but as per that site it's either 7 days of fermenting or when 1/3 of sugar is consumed which they call 1/3 sugar break (I guess they are talking about yeast "breaking" 1/3 of sugars). I never heard people talking about sugar break...

Oh, I made a mistake in my post above, I used mostly Fermaid O, only on last addition I used Fermaid K. I have the notes on gravity at home, as far as I remember on the day 7 it was close to 1/3 sugar break (1.080 or so if I remember correctly).

1. It was fermenting pretty fast for the first 2-3 weeks, then it slowed down, but I could still see visible bubbles coming up 1 month after fermentation started. Starting OG was 1.107 if I remember correctly. 15lb honey in 5 gallons of water. Two packs of D47. I used this site as guidance -...

I made a mead, used 15lb of wildflower honey. I am not sure if it's pasteurized, it probably is, but it didn't say anything about it on the label. I didn't boil or heated the must. Used D47 yeast plus tosna nutrient additions. The mead fermented for about 1 1/2 month and is pretty dry, tastes...

I made this recipe and it came out really great, I think I will use it as a base for some other beers, using the same grain bill and hop schedule, but substituting the hops. Actually yesterday I made one, switched Citra with Amarillo, will see how it works out.
