I'm still new to the home brew stuff, so I 'm still learning. With that being said, I am working on a "maple mead" using natural, dark maple syrup. The starting gravity was 1.17 and is currently at 1.08, which, I guess makes it about an 11.8%. However, I took a taste and was expecting it to taste like it had alcohol in it (being that is's supposed to be 11.8% alcohol). Nope, didn't taste anything, still nice and sweet though. I know there is a bit more fermenting that needs to happen before it's done, but Is this normal? Either way, if it keeps the flavor all the way to 1.0, this stuff is going to be killer!!
Thanks in advance...
