First shot. I decided to try a mead because of the expense of hops these days. Just wanted to get some feedback on if this was a good recipe because I kind of winged it...
10 pounds of cheap honey.
4.5 gallons of water.
Juiced (2 pears, 1 orange, 10 kumquats)
a dash of lime juice
3 bags of decaf green tea
2 packages of champagne yeast.
3 tsp yeast nutrient
My original specific gravity = approx. 0.088
So am I right to assume that this will wind up being a fairly alcoholic beverage?
And do y'all think that 2 packages of yeast is overkill?
Thanks in advance for the help!
