10lb acacia honey
3.8gallon water
fermivin 7013
DAP 3.5gram
starting brix 22
It has been 5 weeks since I pitched yeast. I wasn't able to check my mead for 5 weeks due to my business trip.
Now the gravity is 1.030
It had little acidic taste. Aroma was gentle and flowery. I could get honey but it wasn't that raw honey flavor. I got some peach and apple in it as well. It was slightly carbonated. Very clear. It didn't have fuel or sulfite flavor surprisingly. Most importantly, sweet. I designed this mead to be dry. Fermivin 7013 stands up to 14% so I expected it to ferment all the honey I put.
did I get stuck fermentation in this? or is it yeast just working really slowly? I expected mead to be uncabornated if it was stuck. Please share your ideas! Thank you!
