Ok, maybe someone can help me.
I did a 1 gl. batch of mead, using 71B-1122 yeast and 3 lbs. of honey. It had a starting gravity of 1.090, ph of about 4.4, and started fermenting within 3 hrs. It fermented vigorously for about 3 days then quite. I measured the gravity again and it was 1.000 (ph was still above 4). In the book I have (The Complete Mead Maker) (good book by the way) it says that the meads gravity should finish around .100 lower then what it started at, which mine just about is. So my question is am I done? As anybody else ever fermented that fast?
Thanks for the help
