Making Mead



Not sure why I woke up this morning with the urge to make mead, but luckily I had a bunch of the required gear sitting around. Purchased some 3 gallon spring water bottles locally to ferment in, and we were off.
M1
3 lbs of honey mixed into 1 gallon of 85 degree water. Add 1 teaspoon of yeast fuel, pour into fermenting container and add half a packet of red star Pasteur champagne yeast, pre-bloomed. Shake the hell out of it. Add airlock.
M3
As above, but with 2.5 lbs of orange blossom honey.
