New to the forum and excited to be here. I upscaled my 1 gal mead recipe that I started last year, in which my initial SpGr was 1.108 and finished at SpGr 1.016. It produced a very good batch of mead. This batch I went to 6 gallons and even though I used the same proportions (4 lb honey/gal) my initial SpGr was 1.150. Racked at 6 weeks with the SpGr 1.084 and no more bubbling in the airlock. Added more nutrient at that time and just reracked after another 6 weeks and SpGr is still at 1.084. VERY sweet. What are my options to restart fermentation and burn off more sugar? Any explanation as to the difference in initial SpGr?
Thanks for the advice, Matt
