So I made some of this about 2 weeks ago and not reading carefully I thought the recipe was for 3 gallons, not 2. So I took a gravity reading and it was at like 1.060, I figured something was wrong. I looked back at the recipe and figured it out. I had already topped off with water leaving no room for the additional honey I needed. My plan is to rack it onto the additional honey within the next week. (I'm waiting on my cider to finish so I can free up the carboy). Will there be any problems with this? Are the yeast going to freak out when I throw a bunch of extra sugar at them?
I would like to hear(read) the answer to this as well as I am in a similar situation with a blueberry mead. OG of 1.070, if it's fermented basically dry I could rack into secondary then add honey to a specific gravity. Any suggestions on what that gravity should be?
