I've been doing a lot of reading on mead recipes and really want to make sure I've got everything worked out before I do anything. I believe I've got a good ingredient list made up, but I've got a question about something that confuses me. Some recipes call for boiling the water and honey and scoop off the hot break to remove particulates whereas other recipes just call for warming the water and honey so that you can get a good mixture. Is there a way that is better or more practiced and why? If all goes well with this initial 2.5 gallon batch, I'll step it up and do a 5 gallon batch that will be ready for Christmas next year.
Thanks for the help guys!
