Back-Sweetening Mead
Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2017 10:50 am
I am getting ready bottle my meads; I have not tasted them yet....but a few months ago, they have sufficient sweetness for my taste. But, if I want to back-sweeten, I have a couple of questions....and I am hoping Pat will chime in....
How often do you have to back sweeten your sweet and semi-sweet meads?
When you do back sweeten is it important to back sweeten with honey? And is it essential to use the same honey that was used to ferment the mead?
How much honey do you add (incrementally) to say, a 5-gallon batch?
