Brian ÓI just bottled my second mead, which was started about 6 weeks ago. It finished out at 12%, with 20 points of gravity left over, leaving it a bit sweet, but not unpleasantly so. It cleared up incredibly fast compared to my first mead (probably owing to using a legitimate wine yeast this time instead of bread yeast). I'm planning to save the wine bottle for my next Thanksgiving family gathering (be that 2021 or beyond) at which point it should be nicely aged.
Speaking of my first mead (which was bottled a while ago), it's reaching the three-month-old mark next week. I may pop a bottle to send off 45 on Wednesday night and see how it came out.
