I made a batch of this on 8/14/13. Og was 1.092, fg is .995 and I used 10 grams of D47 for yeast. I racked from the primary on 10/2/13.
I have seen anywhere from 6 weeks of aging to 7 months mentioned in the thread. Right now mine is not drinkable. Hot alcohol flavor as well as the spice from the cinnamon and nutmeg. Not saying I think it is a bad recipe, I just think it is going to need a lot longer than I thought it would. At 12.73 %abv, I think this is going to be another mead I have to forget about for the next 8 months.
Are a lot of you guys really bottling and drinking this after 8 weeks?
