Don't ask about my first Mead. Too many things went wrong to even start
This Mead is a Hybiscus Raspberry Mead
3lb local honey
4-5oz raspberry purée
1oz Orange juice
1oz lemon juice
.5 oz dried Hybiscus boiled for 5 mins
WLP001 yeast
1tsp Yeast nutrient on hand
Starting Gravity is 1.070
1gal batch
After 3weeks i racked it to secondary. It's very nice but still sweet. My concern is will the yeast hold out?
I use this yeast all the time with my beer and 1.070 is well within the tolerance, usually gets me 1.010-1.015 no problem
So why this yeast? Well I tried the same recipe at the LHBS and it was fantastic and it's what they used
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Rick
