Hi, 
I couldn't find the answer to this question directly, so forgive me, if this 
question has been answered somewhere. 
Please give me a link if it is. 
I am considering trying Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast 4184. 
I'd like a sweet mead with a FG of around 1.040. 
According to Wyeast labs this yeast has an alcohol tolerance of 11% ABV. 
Is reasonable to assume, that with an SG of 1.130 I get a sweet mead of 
around 10% ABV and a FG of 1.040? 
Any experience with this yeast in terms of predictability? 
Thanks a lot.
