I’m making my first ever session mead, inspired by root beer recipe.
It has a OG of 1.052, and I’m following a TOSNA nutrient protocol. I wonder with the much lower OG than meads I’ve made previously, is it likely that the usual 24, 48, 72 hours for staggered nutrient additions may not be as reliable, and if the 1/3 break may happen a lot sooner with less sugar the go through?
Or by starting with smaller amounts of yeast, does the timing end up similar to a higher OG must?
I’d not normally measure the gravity for several days, but wondering if I perhaps should so I can’t adjust timing, in case I go to measure in a week and find it’s already well past the 1/3 break.
