Hello Everyone,
I think I caught the Mead bug cause I am planning on making another one. I could use some help as I want a Soda like tasting mead. I was thinking of a recipe like this.
Take 4 ounces of minced ginger root and 1 gallon of water bring to boil remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour.
1 gallon of Knudsen Cranberry Pomegranate Organic Juice.
2.25 Lbs of frozen Cranberries
In Fermenting Pale mix the first three ingredients, add 1 tsp K2CO3
use 8 lbs Costco Kirkland Brand Liquid Honey (Its whats available the local Apiaries are shut down)
Juice from 2 lemons
Water to 5 gallons
1 Pack Nottingham Ale Yeast Re-hydrated with Go Ferm
Follow a Dap and Fermaid K nutrient Protocol.
The goal is to get 9% ABV and bottle condition for Carbonation.
Questions:
1: Will this be enough Ginger flavour? Should I add some shaved Ginger?
2: How Much Pectin should I add and when?
3: Should I add the Frozen Cranberry to secondary?
I have a couple days till the nutrients arrive via the postal service so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
