Hello all. I have made a 1 gallon batch of Joes Ancient Orange Mead for the wife, and after putting it into a secondary to clear after a little over two months, she likes it enough to not want to wait for it to age a bit.
Today, I started her 5 gallons of the same. 17 lbs honey, 5 oranges, 5 cloves, 5 cinnamon sticks, two handfuls of raisins, a smidgen of nutmeg and one pack bread yeast. I could have used a better yeast, but had some bread yeast left and figured if it worked ok last time, should be good this time.....
Was one pack of yeast enough? I still have one left and could add it tomorrow.....it did start to make a little gas after about 3 hours......
Hope it comes out well...
