I made one gallon of Joe Mattioli orange mead once many years ago. Good but too sweet for me. In April I started 2 one gallon jugs of the same with approximately the same amounts of honey. My measuring of honey was a little sloppy and one jug has been clear for over a week and the second is just beginning to clear. That means to me that the ferments are all but over. I'm guessing one jug will be sweeter than the other.
I'm getting real close to racking.
I want to combine the 2 jugs of mead together to make one flavor.
But I think it will still be too sweet. Here's the questions:
Could I add some water to the racked and mixed mead and add a little more yeast with the goal of it finishing with a little less flavor but dryer?
what do I put it in for this secondary ferment?
I probably got a week or so before I need to act on this. Thanks for any help you might provide.
