Hey all,
I'm new to brewing in general. I am closing on bottling my fourth and fifth beer batches and would love to add some mead to my homebrew collection.
I have the ingredients in route for two batches and would like to get as much bang for my buck as possible. I am looking for semi-sweet or sweet mead and of course the largest quantities I can brew with what I have.
Here is what I have on the way:
1 Gallon of Wildflower Blossom Honey
1 Gallon of Clover Blossom Honey
2 lbs. of Lactose Sugar (if needed for sweetening)
4 Ounces of Fermax Yeast Nutrient
2 packs of Lalvin ICV D-47 Yeast
I also have additional fermentables available in the form of a small jar of honey and about 2 pounds of Agave Nectar.
Any suggestions on how I might utilize what I have to make two decent batches of semi-sweet or sweet mead would be greatly appreciated.
-Ron
