I just mixed up a batch of blackberry mead:
~2.5lbs blackberry honey (I had a little less than a quart)
1/4 tsp Wyeast Nutrient
Water to 1 gallon + extra pint for hydro sample and topping off
5g D-47 rehydrated in 2oz 109deg water
My OG came out to 1.080, and I was wondering if I should add some other honey I have on hand (local wildflower) to try to bump that up. I was hoping for a semi-sweet mead, but obviously I under calculated, and this will dry out completely.
Should I just leave it be and plan to backsweeten, or pour some off and add more honey to boost the gravity?
Thanks.
