I tried to re-pitch a sweet Orange Blossom mead that had stalled out at about 9%. I figure I need atleast 10% to bottle and 11-12 would be nice
So I rehydrated a packet of 71B in warm water with a pinch of goferm and pitched. I got alot of gas build up when I aerated on pitching (almost killed my roommate with the carboy stopper) but nothing since.
I'm considering a new tack--I could repitch with K1V and sorbate the fermentation when it's at the sweetness I want. (around 1.012, ~12%)
suggestions? considerations? help?
