I am looking for a rich nutty chestnut flavored mead.
Is a basic recipe for making an extract 1 volume of chestnuts to 2 volumes of vodka ? I see that loveofrose has suggested that for flavoring purposes you can add between 5 - 10 ml of the extract to 1 L of mead (or about 20 - 40 ml to a gallon of mead). Is that 20 -40 ml of extract based on that concentration of extract or a very different ratio of nuts/fruit to alcohol? What ratios of ingredients to alcohol do you use and what quantity of the infusion do you add to a basic mead? Thanks
