ok first question, not about making mead but I'm getting married in a couple weeks and Fiance added a wine ceremony to the ceremony. basically you lock a bottle of wine with letters you wrote the night before the wedding in a box nail it shut for 10 years (or if a major rift earlier) so she loves resielings, white zifs, wines like that, none of which age over 10 years. I remember then she liked some mead I got her when I was at bells in kzoo once and heard that mead ages great. does all mead age well? or is it only certain types. was at the liqour store yesterday and they had some 15 dollar 375ml splits of various b.nector mead, also had a 50 dollar split (might be a bit to rich for me...) we bought a split to taste this weekend and if there good thinking of buying 2 more would these age well?
and second question. thinking of making a mead, its something i've wanted to do for awhile and I wish I hadn't waited so long to get back into the hobby because I could of just made the mead for the wedding. anyways thinking of doing a simple 1 gallon batch of a strawberry mead with the following rough recipe, anyone have any additions or changes to amounts?
3LB of Honey (not sure what type will prolly just go to the grocery store)
3lb Strawberry's (will most likely just use frozen thaw them and puree them)
Yeast Neutriants/energizer
water to a gallon
Montriarch or Champagne Yeast
