I'd like to make about a 5 gallon batch of mead. Since it looked fairly simple I was planning on using this recipe:
Simple Mead Recipe (Sack Mead)
10lbs quality wildflower honey
Champagne or sweet mead yeast
5tsp yeast nutrient
Approx. 3-4gal water
10 lbs of honey, looks to equal about a gallon. Will all this add up to five gallons or will the honey dissolve into the water without changing the volume, like sugar in water.
Do I need to adjust the recipe to make 5 gallons?
