What % of alcohol does D47 give you. I would like it around 15-16% 14% is OK I guess.
I would ferment to dryness I guess, then stabilize, then sweeten if need be. I do plan to
keep some HIDDEN for a year or two from each batch.

Thanks,

D47 is advertised at 14 percent ABV, but I have a cyser and a traditional sweet mead sitting at about 15-16 percent. D47 is a great yeast and I use it a lot in cysers and traditional sweet meads.
