Hello everyone.
I am planning to start 6-gallon mead this week and I am trying to find a good recipe for my first attempt at mead.
At the moment I have about 10 lb of honey, do you think it would be enough or I would need to get some more? I know I would need more if I would want to make sweet mead, but I am wondering if 10 lb of honey can be too little for 6-gallon batch?
My other concern if it will be ok to use regular yeast (for bakery) or should I go ahead and buy something more specific?
And another concern... should I really start it in Winter? Or should I wait for warmer weather? During winter the temperature in my home is usually around 70F.. and I am wondering if this will be ok.
