I put 3.2lb of honey in 1 gal of total water+honey mix.
No yeast nutrient was added and I used champagne yeast.
It took off in the warm days of summer - Started Aug 25th and it took off nicely. In fact 2 weeks in it tasted almost the same as it does now. Then as the days got cooler, I have been keeping it about 80 degrees.
Its still fermenting but still sweet. Do you think its too much honey for 1 gal of total mead ? Could I dilute it with warm water now basically cutting it in 1/2 strength and hope it ferments dry ?
Thanks.
Srinath.
