what should the final gravity be?
Kevin Rhoads on Jun 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It will depend on yeast and when you stop the fermentation (and potentially other factors).

If using a yeast like DV-10 it should come out completely *dry* at 0.0 FG.

Blackberries make a terrific melomel
While I have been making mead for many years I wanted to try a kit to see what other folks are using for methods. This was a terrific kit. Easy to follow the instructions, and the results were fantastic! I have a case that I have squirreled away for an extended time, but even after 4 months this has been very tasty (and strong)!

Great kit. Easy for first-timer
Instructions very good, easy to follow for first time mead maker. Easy to make. Very pleased with outcome. The mead is dry, with a bitter, slight fruity flavor. Color is nice - deep translucent red. Tastes great on the rocks with a twist of lemon or lime. Makes a nice aperitif!
