theres 2 good ways to knock down mead sweetness that i
know of, non ez-cap and ez-cap

1. use a carboy to ferment in and use merlot yeast,
then let it sit for 6months.

2. get a big pot and cookup 4 liters at a time (2 may
work but i've always done 4). disolve the honey in
boiling water, i use 2.5 cups. add 2 maybe 3 tea bags
(any type). i let the tea bags sit for a few minutes
then take them out. let it all cool to a good temp for
adding yeast. pour it in your bottles, add the yeast
and let it sit for 10-12 days (honey ferments slower
than regular sugar). it will have a bit of a tea taste
but will not be as sweet. i like it, great summer
drink. give it a shot. if you come up with a diffrent
idea, let me know, i like to expieriment.
