Got a few demijohns of mead that stalled, it’s like cola for sweetness and if mixed with rum its pretty nice but otherwise it is probably like 3-4%.
What else could I use it for? I think if I drank it all I would get diabetes before I got drunk.
Some things I have tried so far: splash some in a frying pan while frying onions, along with some soy sauce. Soak sultanas in the mead and use them in a steamed syrup pudding.
Sorry, I don’t have useful suggestions, I’m just curious — what does stalled mean, and how does it happen? I made mead many moons ago and I don’t remember the term from back then, so I’m wondering if I just got lucky
The ferment “stalled”. No activity. No bubbles. No increase in ethanol. Gravity stuck.
He added way too much sugar (honey), probably.
Yeah too much sugar at once is the likely cause of it.
Next ferment probably going to be cider. Let the yeast recover a bit.
