Hello. I'm new to mead making. I've been doing 1 gallon batches and I'm on my 5th one. I ruined my first one (lesson learned). I think I made vinegar that time. 
Anyway, my other ones seem to be doing fine. The other day I started a batch using just under 3 pounds of raw Orange Blossom with 32 oz of pure Trader Joe's blueberry juice. I used 71b-1122 yeast and was going to stagger the nutrient and energizer additions over 3 days. The first day I added 1/2 tsp of nutrient and 1/4 tsp of energizer. The OG was at just under 15% potential alcohol. It started showing signs of fermentation over the next couple hours. The next morning it was going like crazy. I skipped a day to add more nutrient and energizer. I checked the gravity and it was almost at 10%. I was surprised cuz that seemed fast. I decided to just add the rest of the nutrient and energizer then. Anyway, today is the 5th day and I checked the gravity and it is right at 0. Is this normal? Has anyone ever had a mead ferment that fast? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Thanks in advance.
