What about a dry mead yeast, would that hit the target?
No.
Most "Sweet mead" yeast will still fully ferment to around 14%
I've had D-47 poop out pretty reliably at 12% in Mead....even with proper nutrients and such. That's been bad for me, but could be a good strain for you.
My first mead has been in the fermenter for about 4 months and I used D-47. ABV is around 11.3% and it fermented down to 1.004. I was kind of hoping to break 1.000.
Ok, update, one of my fermenters (2 one gallons) is down below 1.000 and the other one is at 1.010 about after just 1 week! Should I go ahead and throw a campden tablet in the one below 1.000 and bottle it? They both are still quite cloudy, should I wait for it to clear up first? It tastes good already, just like wine!
