I haven't made a batch of mead in a long time, and I'm attempting my first mead using TOSNA. I think there are a couple different versions available since I've been on last, but the one I found that I planned on trying is TOSNA 2.0.
The problem is, my calculations seem to be way off and I'm having difficulty figuring it out.
It's a 1 gal batch of prickly pear mead using mesquite honey. I rehydrated 71B-112 with GoFerm. Pitched at same temp.
OG = 1.108, which would give me 25.6 brix.
X 10 = 256 grams sugar per Litre.
256*.075 = 19.2 (YAN requirement)
256*19.2*1/50 (ppm) = 98.3 total grams. (24.57 gram servings)
That seems like WAY too much Fermaid-O. Like, an insane amount. Where did I go wrong?
