Got a few demijohns of mead that stalled, it’s like cola for sweetness and if mixed with rum its pretty nice but otherwise it is probably like 3-4%.
What else could I use it for? I think if I drank it all I would get diabetes before I got drunk.
Some things I have tried so far: splash some in a frying pan while frying onions, along with some soy sauce. Soak sultanas in the mead and use them in a steamed syrup pudding.

Tried and didn’t get far. I do wonder what type of sugars it has, it was the cheapest Lidl honey I could get. So not sure on the quality of the honey. Also used quite a lot of it. IIRC the previous batch that fermented dry in a couple of weeks or so was targeting 7.5% and this was 15%. So that is also a likely reason for it.
Want to try an apple mead again, but sweeten it a little after it’s finished. Maybe berry meads too. Seems to ferment a lot easier which is also a benefit.

Yeah, that was probably high fructose corn syrup…
