I started my first batch of mead about a week ago and fear I lost a lot of honey in the process (didn’t scrape up as much as I could’ve). I have a possible abv of about 9% and it’s a five gallon batch. I used Lalvin EC-118, which wasn’t my first choice, but I used it for its wide temperature range, and I know it can tolerate abv up to 18%. Is there a way I can add more honey to my batch and still calculate the gravity/abv? It seems like a waste to use EC-118 and end up with a low abv product, but it’d also be a real shame to blindly add more honey and not know my first mead’s abv. Any advice, suggestions, maybe complex formulas for calculating possible abv under these circumstances? Any input or information is appreciated
