Just to add, since my last post I have resampled my mead, it has improved in leaps and bounds, what a tasty drop it has become in such a short period of time, second batch is down and this time I have done it to the letter.

Just bottled my first batch of mead and am enjoying a glass right now. I was a bit naughty and did not 100% follow the instructions, though next batch I will do it to the letter as I want more and better. Have to admit this is pretty damn good though, even if I do say so myself. Sweet and...

Couldn't you prove/disprove things systimatically? For instance you have shown that it's not the yeast by repitching, how have you proven that it hasn't simply run out of sugar? couldn't you take some of your batch into a smaller vessel and add more sugars to see if you get fermentation? yopu...
