yup. had to go to tto the grocery store to pick up some milk and grabbed some baker's yeast.
dug through the fridge and found about 3/4 a jug of pomegranate juice, grabbed an orange, then saw that I had some crushed pineapple in the pantry so I put it in a colander and strained all the juice out into the others.
brought to a boil, added honey, cooled and pitched yeast.
bubbling away happily one hour later. This yeast doesn't mess around.
any ideas how long I should let this sit? thinking about just letting it sit in the closet of the second room here until august or so and bottling it then. (I plan on carbonating it as well, so does the time frame make a difference for carbonation? would it be better to bottle after a few weeks and then age it, or should I let it ferment for a few months and then bottle? I've never made a mead before)
