So im on my 4th batch of Mead, all so far came out great. Decided to do a Bourbon flavor with vanilla extract. Used 5 gal of distilled water and 10lbs honey and Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast all at 68°. No boil on anything. It took longer than normal fermentation to begin (4days) then it bubbled every 30 sec for 2 weeks in primary. Transfered to secondary added vanilla 4oz and tested Alc% **1.062 *** WAS SAME ON DAY ONE. Am i missing something here? Did somethin go wrong or will it keep fermenting next 6 months? Hate to wait and find out i messed somethin up. Plan on putting in the soaking in Bourbon wood sticks tomorrow for 2 days. It was still bubblin every 30 sec when i did transfer. Thanks all
