Hi Everyone,
First time posting in the mead section because I feel I'm finally ready to venture into the realm of Mead Making! I was going to start a 5 gallon batch last weekend but was unable to start so this weekend it is. I supposed this will end up being a JAOM w/o breadyeast. I want to do a no- boil mead.
Ingrediants:
Batch Size 5.5
13 LBS Orange Blossom Honey
5 Oranges
2 Cloves
5 Cinnimon Sticks
125 count raisins
White labs yeast nutrient
First Question: how many packets of Lavin D47 (5g)? 1 or 2?
The other question I have IS I ran my water though a 5 micron filter and boiled it in a Stainless kettle with the lid on and it will probably sit until this upcoming friday night (today being wednesday) will this water be ok you think, or should i refilter and reboil?
and if you have any words of wisdom for a first time mead maker, i'd greatly appriciate it. Thanks all! Cheers!
