Artisanal Standard Semi-Sweet Mead Making Kit

Semi sweet mead

👍👍

Fermented to dry

This started out 1.088 OG for me and fermented out to 1.003 in about 3 weeks. Was very dry at this stage. Did not taste semi-sweet at all and was quite harsh. After several weeks of aging, the harshness mellowed out significantly. I'm optimistic this will turn out well. Just a bit surprised by how dry it turned out, but I suppose 12 lbs of honey in 5 gallons will likely ferment completely. I love how easy (and cheap) this kit was as it included all the nutrients to add at various stages of fermentation. Not a big fan yet of the Wyeast that's included. My earlier mead using D47 seemed to produce a nicer semi-sweet mead.

Good stuff!

Hopefully the second batch will make it to bottling this time!
