In Ken Schramm's, The Compleat Meadmaker, there is a five-gallon recipe of Medium Sweet Orange Blossom Mead. I am guessing this is likely similar to Lurgashall English Mead?
The ingredients for the five-gallon batch are:
15 lbs orange blossom honey
4 gals water
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp yeast energizer
2 packets Lalvin 71b-1122
(or 5 grams of Lalvin Fermaid in place of nutrient and energizer)
I only want to make a one-gallon batch. Do I simply use 20% of everything above, or do I adjust up any of the ingredients (for example, use one packet of yeast as would be buying at least one anyway). Also, is it better to use nutrient and energizer or the Fermaid? Thanks!
