So we accidentally started some mead last year. A friend who makes it regularly told us what to do to complete the process without anything ruining. Worked great - even though I accidentally doubled the yeast. Needless to say, the mead is um, very strong. It's good but I can barely get more than a shot glass down before I can't drink anymore... and I have to sip that - forget taking a swig. Oh, and it tastes quite sweet in spite of the very obvious high alcohol content.
We also did a second bottle that was half honey, half homemade blackberry wine (which was also an accident). It's not quite as high in alcohol content but it's still pretty high). It's not near as sweet either.
Is there anything we can do to counter this issue? I wanna not just drink this batch but future batches!
