Long story short, I started 2 batches of mead on the same day, with the exact same ingredients except one (explain in a min).
batch 1. 15 lbs honey, water to 5.5 gallons, ec1118 yeast, 8 oz 100% baker’s chocolate. Final sg .990 clear as a bell.
batch 2. 15 lbs honey, water to 5.5 gallons, ec1118 yeast, 8 oz cinnamon sticks. Final sg 1.030, cloudy as mud.
they were fermented side by side within 1 ft.
did the cinnamon add that much sweetness or is something else going on?
