You can sweeten it at the same time you sorbate. Then wait a week to insure no restart before bottling. Also add suffite at the same time as suggested by ThirstyViking.

Re: Potasium Sorbate...

Well I took a gamble and about 12 hours after adding the Potasium Sorbate I started adding sweeteners. when all was said and done there was the original MAPLE SYRUP fermented and treated as if it was honey......with fresh strawberries started last april ( 2003).....when it was ready ( well I hoped so) I added a smidge more maple syrup, some Trader Joes Morello Cherry Reserve, some Trader Joes Cherry Cider (notice a theme yet) some Raspberry extract. Shaken well and served to 12 or so Renaissance Faire friends. Most really liked it and were amazed it was originally Maple Syrup....even those who make their own mead as well as other creations.

One Wench (affectionatly called) even tried to run away with the bottle.....she didnt get far,,,something about the outfit she was wearing she had to stop and adjust herself. Only one person didn't seem like he enjoyed it...but for the most part it was a hit. He was stumped to pin point the ingredients.

So if your ever stumped for something different.....try maple syrup....its definately different......

Whats next? I really am intreiged with the thought of peanut butter mead with a grape jelly tasting chaser.....( PB&J) and im kicking the idea of applebutter or apricot around ....whatta you think?

I'm going to guess that the oil in the peanut butter might affect the fermentation, though I'm not sure how.

Why use apple butter? Why not fresh apples (or apple juice) and spice it to your own taste?
