I think I got some bad info. I added six pounds of peaches to 3.5 gallons of a traditional mead. I was told to add 1.5 teaspoons of pectinase. After doing some reading I think I overdosed it by about 50 percent. Did I overdose it? What are potential side effects?

All the Best,

What are potential side effects?

That it completely vaporizes your peaches. This might lure you into racking it off sooner than you'd ordinarily have done and thus have had less exposure time. Prepare to do some juice pressing when you do rack. Otherwise, all should be good.
