Hello!
I'm new to the forum and to the world of mead making! I just started my first batch, a blueberry mead, 27/2.
My recipe:
1.3kg honey
3.8L water
zest of one lemon
1 bag of earl grey tea, I used some of the water for that.
500g frosen blueberries.
Yeast: Mangrove Jacks M05
Nutrients: 1g Fermaid K, 2.5g DAP (approximately)
The reading was 1.116,.
But i did not take in to considiration of the blueberries sugar, so i might need some help on how to counter in that for the equation . The package say 6.9g of sugar on 100g.
Today I took a new reading, it say 1.018.
I think i wanna stop the fermentation soon, don't want it to be to strong.
What do you guys think? Should i let it ferment out, does my readings sound good?
Any pointers would be great
