Haigh folks
I'm about to make my 1st mead but need some simple help. I'm hoping to produce 2 imperial gallons worth at 20% ABV remaining balanced in taste without the harsh alcohol over taking the pallete.
What are recommended ABVs for mead and why? Most recipes I see are for 1 gallon, how strong are those percentage wise? Then maybe I can work out what I need for 2 galls at 20%
Oh one last thing, do you have Elderberries in America? What does it taste like in your Mead if you've used them. I'm considering using them with my dandelions.
Sorry for the irksome nature of this thread. Advice is so appreciate.
