Fermented well, but completely dry

Followed proper pitch rate as calculated on white labs site, yeast was fresh and healthy, fermented at a controlled 65*F and followed Tosna 2.0 nutrient schedule. Yet there is nothing sweet about it. Some more thorough instructions from white labs might be ideal if there’s some special case you need to get the 2-3% residual sweetness.

As for my meads I’ll go back to the BOMM method with 1388.

Worked good

Worked good and made good ferments. 2 of the three ferments I used it with went super dry and I wasn't expecting that as it's advertised as a sweet mead yeast but maybe it was something I did. I'll use it again and would recommend it.

My First Time at Mead Making

I bought my brewing equipment from Northern Brewer, very satisfied with it and customer relations. I have my first batch in the carboy for the final stage before bottling, mead that is. Not at all sure how it will turn out, but will learn as we go.
