Plum Crazy Mead Part 2

Last night I made a starter using Lavlin D47 yeast. I used 3 cups water, 1/4 t yeast energizer and 1/4 t yeast nutrient. I boiled that for 10 minutes and then added 1/4 cup honey off the heat. I let it cool to room temp and then pitched the yeast. This morning it was bubbling away happily.

Plum Crazy Mead

6 pounds honey from Perry
1 t yeast nutrient
1 t yeast energizer
1 1/2 t pectinase
~3 pounds plums
starter of Lavlin D47

I mixed up the honey, yeast nutrient and energizer. I added water to make 2 gallons and took a specific gravity reading. It was 1.140. Then I cut the plums in half and dropped the pitted plums including the skins into the mead. Then I pitched the yeast and added the pectinase.
