The Mead is in the primary

Here is the results.
 
Total volume 6.5 gallons
21 Pounds of Wildflower Honey
Red Star - Premier Cuvee - Active Dry Wine Yeast
6 tsp Super Ferment 

I rapid boiled 5.5 gallons of water - That was my first mistake. Should have been more like 4.5.

I meant to have 5.5 gallons total, not 5.5 + almost 2 gallons of honey - argh!!!

Fortunately you can always add, but not take away. I still have 3 pounds left and will add it to the secondary. Otherwise, 21 pounds over 6.5 gallons would be 3.23 per gallon which would lean towards more of a dry mead. Adding the 3 in should push it up to 3.7 which is better. :)
