Ok I just bought 15lbs of Orange blossom honey (good price from Northern) and thought I would run my process by the forum readers before I actually do it. Reminder this is my first mead and I have very little knowledge of this besides what I have read here so stop me if I am making a mistake.
1) Heat 3 gallons of water (DO NOT BOIL)
2) Add 15 lbs of Honey to dissolve
3) Add to 6 gal Carboy
4) Add 2 gallons cold water (mix)
5) When solution is about 70 degrees F Add Redstar Chamagne Yeast packet
6) Add one cup warm water/Yeast nutrients solution
7) Repeat step 6 in a week.
So this is my basic idea/process I was also thinking after a month I would rack to a secondary for 2 more months. Any pointers you all could offer would be great.
Thanks
