Being so new to beer brewing in general, I poked my head into the mead section and decided to go with a simple mead since it takes so little time.
I went with a 1 gallon batch.
3 lbs of honey (a mix of clover and mesquite)
1 orange (rind and all, cut into eights)
2 cloves
1 cinammon stick
Bread yeast (thats what the recipe called for)
Now, here is where I show myself to be a TOTAL newbie to mead. What the heck is it and what can I expect?
I've never heard of it till I read about it. I know that I've heard about it in medieval movies and such, but what can I truly expect... flavor wise and such?
How do I drink it? Shots? Warmed up in a beer glass?
I dont really know what I put together, but Im willing to experiment!
Cheers
