My 4 month old mead has gone just about totally dry. OG of 1.120 and now it's at about 1.002. I was going for a sweet mead but had to pitch some additional yeasts when fermentation got stuck.
So I'm looking at close to 16% ABV right now. If I want to sweeten it up should I:
1) Throw in more honey now, see if I can cap out the yeast and leave some residual sugars?
2) Rack it onto campden tabs and add another 2# of honey 48hours later?
3) Wait another 6 months until I'm about to bottle and rack onto campden tabs and add another 2# honey 48 hours later?
