First time mead maker here so don't shoot me but I'm thinking I'll take the plunge and make a 5 gallon batch because if I like it I'm going to wish i had more right? So do I use more yeast for the 5 gallon size?
I opened a bottle of an awesome blackberry mead from Honeywood winery in Oregon last night. Very mellow on the sweetness and really just a hint of blackberry. Worth a try I think.
