Hello everyone! Started my first mead a little while back, a one-gallon batch of just honey water and yeast. I had a gravity of close to 1.000, and I decided to go ahead and stabilize with potassium sorbate, wait a day or two, and bottle. I later realized that the video I was watching as a guide was using potassium metabisulfite and sorbate combined, so I assumed the sorbate was all that was needed. I DID back-sweeten and bottle it a few days ago on 2/11.
I did get ahold of potassium metabisulfite, and I'm wondering if I should pop open my swing-top bottles and add some. Being that it's my first batch, I'm overthinking everything, and any advice is much appreciated. I didn't see anything about this online.
