Hey guys,
The range in which a mead can be called "traditional" varies, according to what I read, between 8 and 14%. That's a pretty big range. How do you choose your starting gravity then? I'm not interested in making a very alcoholic mead, so that's off the table, but are there other reasons why you'd wanna brew a TM say, at 12% instead of 9%? Simply put, how do you peak an OG when brewing a new mead?
