I just racked my 2nd batch - I straight mead I'm hoping will end up semi sweet - to secondary in a carboy after a three week primary. I've got a more headspace then I'd like. Due to the shape of the carboy I'd need ~ 1.5 pints to fill it.
Must started at SG 1.105 and is currently at SG 1.000.
What happens if I mix up honey and water to the appropriate SG and add it at this point? Surely there is enough viable yeast to ferment it out.
Could I just keep adding honey until the yeast stalls out from excess ABV and I get the level of sweetness I'd like?
