On 9/27, I started a mead with 12 # honey, 2 packs of Safeale US 05, yeast nutrient and water to make 5 gallons. The idea was to ferment this, then put it into 5 secondaries (1 gal each) on fdifferent kinds of fruit.
OG 0.084. after 10 days, sp gr was 0.034. 4 days later, 0.030. Now, after a total of 18 days, sp gr is still 0.030. Per Compleat Meadmaker, I aerated it and added a small amount of nutrient. I intend to aerate again daily for the next few days. Tastes good, albeit sweet.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
