Hello All,
This is my third batch of mead and haven’t run into any problems thus far. I decided to try a Bochet Cyser and when I attempted to get my OG, the triple scale hydrometer floated past the scale. I’m assuming it’s because of the caramelized honey and apple juice, but I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this. To preface, I did calibrate my hydrometer and it is reading tap water just fine at 1.000. Here is my recipe:
2.75 lbs caramelized honey
128 fl oz apple juice
1 honey crisp apple cored and chopped
1 cinnamon stick
3 allspice berries
2 whole cloves
1/4 tsp Fermaid O
1/2 packet D47 yeast
I did add water to the honey but with how much it cooked down its most likely a negligible amount since most of it cooked off.
My question is, if I’ve somehow screwed this up, can it be fixed and how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!
