Hey,
I just brewed 2 gallons of mead, I used a jar of unprocessed honey, and added some refined sugar to aid fermentation.
However, after leaving it for about a week, and fermentation grinding to a halt, I am dissappointed with the results. It seems the mead is incredibly weak, I am not sure exactly how weak, but after drinking about a quarter of a gallon, I'd say weaker than your average beer (4%).
I suspect it could be the very cheap yeast I used ("Allinson Dried Active yeast")
which is £1 for 125grams.
Any way I can beef up my mead?
Excuse my noobishness,
Axx
