Background:
I recently bottled my first mead (Joe's Ancient Orange Mead), so my 1 gallon jug is open. I was at my LHBS yesterday, and got some honey but I can't find a recipe that I have a majority of the ingredients for, so I was thinking I would create my own. This is where I need help from the experts (that would be you, who is reading this).
Oh, and a big thanks to the Apple Clove Recipe (BigKahuna, I believe) that I read here. My inspiration for trying to come up with something on my own.
Recipe:
3Lb wildflower honey
3 Apples (Not sure what kind, any recommendations?)
2 Cinnamon Sticks
2 Cloves
1 packet Bread Yeast
Water to top off to 1 gallon
Heat up 6 cups of water to ~110 deg F
Remove from heat
Dissolve honey, add 1 cinnamon stick.
Cover with Lid and let sit
Peel and Core one of the apples, core the remaining 2 apples (skin left on)
Chop all into small cubes (~1/4 inch per side)
Add 5 cups cold water to fermenter
Add all ingredients (except yeast) to fermenter
Cool fermenter to yeast pitching temp
cap and shake fermenter (high tech aeration)
Pitch yeast
Attach airlock.
So, what do you think? Think it would be OK? should I change anything? I have to get to work now. I'll check back periodically, to see if anyone responds.
