Hi,
I'm just starting to get back into mead making, which I haven't done for a few years. And a few years ago, I wasn't a pro yet either. So I decided to start with four different one gallon batches.
So, one of my batches is a cyser. It came out way sweeter than I had hoped. I'm a fan of drier meads and wines. This has been racked and is done with primary fermentation and I'd like to try to make it less sweet.
Here is the recipe I used (again, it's been a while, and I'm quite the amateur):
August 5th, 2017
September 5th:
Fermentation stopped @ 1.035 gravity
Is there any way to restart fermentation?
It's not bad, but I would just prefer it drier.
Thanks in advance.
