Hello all,
Today I got a decent deal on about 18 pounds of Smartweed honey at my local market, and was wondering if anyone has made a mead with this honey before. It's really dark and sweet, and I thought the flavor was pretty good, but couldn't really find any information on using it.
I based my recipe on Papazian's ginger mead recipe, and added maybe 9 oz of zested ginger to the boil, I've got a wyeast dry mead liquid yeast that I'll be pitching soon along with some Fermaid K and DAP according to hightest's SNAS. If anyone has any experience or suggestions for using this honey, I'd be interested to hear about it.
