Thats what the op's recipe called for. I used d47 instead, after reading some threads where people claimed the d47 produced a mead that is drinkable sooner.
Thank you for posting this. I modded the recipe a little, but the results were simply impressive.
I made a 3-gallon batch in April 2013 and found this vanilla mead to be barely drinkable, even after 19 months. I tried to like it, but is was a chore to finish a bottle. OG was 1.130; FG was 1.000.
I took the remaining 6 bottles today, poured some out into a large glass measuring cup, and added 3/8 cup of Manischewitz Concord Grape to each bottle, and filled the bottles back to about 2.5" from the top with the excess from the measuring cup and re-corked. The Manischewitz helps to hide the vanilla taste.
Was something off about it or was it just not to your taste?
