I would really like to make a mead. Never tried it but it sounds wonderful. A guy I work with owns an apiary and sold me 2 gallons of honey (he calls it goldenrod and it's from South Louisiana) for $40. This seems like a decent price however during my research I have not found any recipes for Goldenrod Mead. More specifically...only goldenrod honey. Is there a good use for goldenrod honey? I have read its buttery. Is it fine on it's own or does it need to be blended. Furthermore...he said that it was 12 pounds per gallon. Is there some variation I can use to make several 5 gallon batches? Most recipes I come across state more or less than 5 gallons and I'm not sure how to measure the weight of what I'm pulling from the jar. Thanks for everyone's help in advance.
