I take all responsibility for this. I couldn't afford to make beer that day, and I had a bunch of stuff laying around the house. So I made a Recession Mead. I had about 11# of Costco honey, and a quart of my aunt's pressure canned raspberry sauce. (Raspberries and sugar cooked down into a rough syrup. Amazing on ice cream) So I mixed it all up and threw it in my empty carboy with a 1500mL starter of White Labs Sweet Mead yeast that I made the night before. I made my starter by just adding honey until I got to about 1.070, added a pinch of yeast nutrient. My OG on the mead was 1.096. I also put a tsp of nutrient in the must. Now, about 2 1/2 weeks later, I'm down to 1.006
Sheesh, it's enough to make a guy want to stick to beer!
