I've made plenty of meads before, but when making a raw honey mead, I typically don't use anything but water and the raw honey because I've been afraid of damaging this natural, nutrient-dense honey. For those of you that don't know exactly what raw honey is, check this link out http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/raw-honey.html
That being said, I was wondering if I would do any harm to the raw honey by adding potassium metabisulfite (aka campden tablets) to my must 12-24 hours before pitching my yeast? I've been careful in the past not to heat (pasteurize) the must when using raw honey to more than 100*F (just enough to blend the honey/water together). I'm thinking that the potassium metabisulfite won't harm this kind of honey, but I wanted to make sure.
Cheers!
