So tomorrow I'm going to my local renaissance festival. I decided I'm gonna buy some honey and make mead for the first time. I have a couple questions though. I want this to be really good!
I guess I'm going for a semi sweet mead. Only a 1 gallon batch. (that honey is expensive!)
I want to make a good one. Not just "joes ancient old mead" or whatever
These people have tons of honey to choose from. Any ideas on a good flavor?!
What yeast should I use? Nutrients?
Amount of honey? Recipe?
Hell, maybe even a quick "how to" I want to make a damn good mead!
I'm leaving for basic training for the army October 22nd. Then i have my AIT. I'll be gone for about 6 months so I figured why not make some MEAD!
Any comments would be much appreciated. It would be good to have a present waiting for me for my return home.....then off to who knows where........
Thanks ahead of time!
