OK, so I screwed up. I started a batch of mead using calculations for an 18% ABV (EC-1118) yeast and just realized I used a 14% ABV yeast (71B-1122). So needless to say, it's going to be crazy sweet and I like my mead barely semi-sweet (FG 1.015). So a couple questions:
1. Can I re-pitch with EC-1118? When I re-hydrate the yeast I'll just slowly add some mead to get it acclimated to the ~14% abv before pitching it into the 5 gal carboy.
2. Should I wait for the 71B-1122 to finish or just kill it now (how?) and re-pitch with the other yeast asap?
I'd appreciate any advice/insight. Thanks in advance.
