Hi All,
I am brewing my first batch of mead and have a problem I never imagined...
I pitched my yeast (Lalvin EC-1118) on July 15 and fermentation was going excellent. I checked it on July 19 and got SG 1.36 Alc 5%. I checked it again today (July 26), (the fermentation slowed to a crawl as of yesterday), and it is SG 1.000 Alc 0%. Can this be true??? Has anyone else experienced this or is there a way to fix it?? The temperature in the room it was fermenting is 85 F (29.5C) which is well within the acceptable temp for the yeast.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer,
Rob
