I have 2 different meads.
3 gal - started a month ago
Wyeast 1388
OG 1.1
Stalled at 1.03
Recieved 1/4 tsp Kmeta (I tried to save it first with ec-1118 but didn't budge)
5 gal - started 9 days ago
Started with Wyeast 1388 (with a big starter this time)
OG 1.1
Stalled at 1.03
Re-pitched D47, now down to 1.02 and slowly moving
Question - What would happen if I combined these two batches into something big enough to hold both of them?
Would the first batch that got the Kmeta stall out the other batch?
Is there a chance the entire batch could finish to dryness?
Should I wait until the second batch goes dry and then try combining so that at least I get an FG for the entire batch of something less than 1.03?
I'm thinking that if there is a chance of bringing the combined batches to dryness, I would need to do it while one batch is still active. Any validity to this?
Sorry for all the questions - I know I said there was just 1
