1st batch of mead

Hello all, I'm glad I found this forum. 36 hours ago I started my first batch of mead. It is bubbling away and I'm Happy as things seem to be going well. It's only a 1 gallon batch. Tomorrow I'm going to start another 1 gal batch. I like the FAQ part of this forum as it is very informative. I'm going to spend a lot of time reading through the posts. so I may not have much to say at first. cya

My 1st batch of mead I started last Monday is still bubbling away but at a slower rate. Ahhh if only I could move forward in time about 10 months. I hope to rack in a week or two. Meanwhile, I made about 8 bottles of Mulsum to hold me over for a bit. This site is cool, so far just by going back and reading, all the question I had have been answered!

What yeast are you using, and what temperature is your fermenter?

the temp is about 75 deg and I'm useing Fleichmann's bread yeast, nothing fancy.

I've never heard of mulsum before. I just googled it and see that its a mixture of white wine and unfermented honey.

What grape varietal did you use ?

It seems to me that Sauvignon Blanc would be a good choice, anyone else have recommendations for this ?

For the Mulsum I'm drinking I'm using the cheapest wine I could find which is Carlo Rossi, Chablis. lol I got 2, 4 liter jugs. Added a pinch of nutmeg and ground cinnamon, a whole clove and a 1/2 pound of honey for each litre. Slowly warmed it up to about 160 degrees and let cool to room temp and bottled. It tastes almost like some sweet mead I had a while ago. They say you can use white or red wines. Soonish I'm going to try an inexpensive red wine.
