Notes
Was going to use Wyeast Sweet Mead, but could not get it any fermentation or action showing fermentation from my starter. Ended up using Vintner's Harvest CY17 which was probably a blessing as the Mead came out wonderful.
Also used Orange Blossom Honey and mixed with spring water. I pasteurized the honey as this was native honey from the hive.
Did the Yeast Nutrients and Yeast Energizer in 3 separate steps. At the beginning, when the Mead was at 1.060 and then again at 1.030.
Degased and transfered 3 separate times for clarity. Ended up with 2.75 gallons before bottling.
