The first of my current batches is close to bottling time and my honey is arriving in a couple of weeks so have started planning my next batch which is to use Melons. It will be a 5L batch.
I have gone and bought 2 Honeydew and 2 Galia melons. I figured I would leave them in the fridge for a week to ripen and then shove them in the freezer until I'm ready for them.
Has anyone made one of these and have any hints, I already have a packet of s-04 open so I guess I will use that if it's still viable. I want it nice and sweet so I guess 4lb of honey?
Should I put it in simmering water and mash it to get out all the juice or just ball it and put it in?
Any tips would be much appriciated!
