Make a dry mead and blend.  Or can do similar with a dry cider or fruit wine.

I did make a dry version and blended them. The resulting FG is 1.035 which is a bit sweet, but very drinkable.

Awesome - we do this all the time at the winery - as most wine makers do to belnd to get the results you are looking for.  Sometimes we see the ferment kick back up after some blending, so you may want to wait a week+ before bottling.

71B has a alcohol tolerance of 14% and with the readings you have provided it has reached its tolerance. Why not just add water to bring down the sugar content then bottle? More mead to enjoy that way

I've gotten 71B up to 18-19% with staggered nutrient additions and aeration twice a day. But I've also had it stall out at 13% when I overshot my initial gravity. I find those alcohol tolerance numbers are only useful from comparing two strains from the same manufacturer, and not much else.

Yeah I’ve gotten 16-17% ABV in a Berry mead with SNA using 71B.
