I re-pitched a 1 year old batch of sweet mead to bring the SG and sweetness down using a starter made up of 2 x RS Cote des Blanc as suggested in this forum. The starter took off in no time. I pitched into my batch at high Kreusen and although there is some activity after 10 days, the mead has not really "taken off". I keep a heating blanket around my carboy to maintain a 72 - 75 degree temperature. OG:1.140 Current SG is 1.070. I would like it to "dry out" around 1.020.
Would it be recommended to add some more yeast nutrient to the batch? Any other recommendations?
I really appreciate the insight.
