hey all
so here is the part 2 of the easy cherry mead!
so things did not go quite as expected, instead of the yeast dying and leaving that lovely sweetness we wanted left behind, it decided to ferment to almost dryness 0.991
its unusual for universal wine yeast to get that high with out energizer and perfect temperatures but the stars and the moon aligned and it happened. so the resulting mead ended up 17-18% 
not a big deal, if you were to make this one your self then just add another jar of honey, 5 in total. 
that should sort that problem, that being said its really not too much of a problem. as its a rapid drinking mead we just need to back sweeten :D we used honey instead of an artificial sweetener. 
as this is meant to be quick drinking its easier to add the honey when you want to drink it. 
for my taste 120 ml of honey per bottle gets that honey flavor and cherry hints and the alcohol lastly ( its warming )
