This is a continuation fo another thread. I had tons of help, but thought having a more accurate title may give me just a bit more. Thanks to those who've assisted me thus far.
here's the basic recipe
1gallon must of the following(small batch)
3lb of clover honey
filled to match gallon of bottle water
1/2 packet of Nottingham beer yeast
mixed 1/10
stopped at 1.08FG
very sweet and tasty, just a little yeast/beer flavor
bottled and capped, but a hint bubbly
too suggestion of unbottling and putting back in carboy.
would like a little less sweetness and a higher alcohol content
well, I'm not sure what to do now. I unbottled and put the mead back into the 1g carboy. added about 16oz of water so I had minimum head room. I threw in a few raisins and gave it a good shaking hoping to wake the yeast up. Not working. I had about 4% alcohol before bottling and now I'm thinking I should have just left it alone in the bottles. Just as a side note, not all of what I did was per suggestions. Opinions? Thanks a ton for being here to help!
