Hi,
I made some basic mead by adding a bottle of runny honey to 4 liters of spring water, also added half kilo of brewing sugar.
So then I tool a reading with my hydrometer and the reading read 52, I added the brewing yeast, about half tea spoon, then added some yeast nutrient according to the bottles instructions. Now is nearly 2 weeks later, so I just took another reading with the hydrometer and it reads 22.
Please can anyone tell me the alcohol content please? I don't understand the instructions and when looking online - other peoples readings are different, like 1.**, like small decimal numbers if you know what I mean. I've never used a hydrometer before :)
Thanks in advance.
