So I just finished my first batch, recipe below:
1020g Tesco Everyday Honey
4 litres water
1 tsp Young's All Purpose Wine Yeast (also did a batch with EC-1118 to compare but haven't bottled that yet)
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
Initial: 1.065
Final: 1.045
Which I calculate at 2.64%?
Fermentation primary was only 3 weeks, but it was no longer bubbling and had been clear and quiet for a week. It didn't taste sweet so I've primed and bottled. Have I just made bottle bombs? Did fermentation get stuck? Has someone been sneaking in and stealing my alcohol and watering down the booze? Did I misuse the Got Mead Batch Calculator? What is the meaning of life?
