This is exactly what I am in the process of doing right now. The honey needed just to make a gallon of mead cost me $28 CAD. No sense wasting money on making a huge batch, messing it up and having to dump it down the drain.

Nickel Brook Old Kentucky Bastard Bourbon Stout, probably the most lethal beer you can get that is made in Canada. Seasonal only in the winter funnily enough. I guess it helps you get through these cold long winters in Ontario :D

So I guess it isn't just a matter of adding it to the recipe then. Good to know! Thanks for the advice. This is the recipe I am going by, and I think in order to make it simple, I am going to just use honey and the yeast, no extra stuff until I get comfortable with brewing...

I was reading through my old post yesterday and have assembled what I need to make a basic mead. I am going to get some local apple cider without preservatives in it. Anyway, I have White Lab Mead Yeast, and am picking up 4 pounds of honey tomorrow. The fermenting kit I have is a 2 gallon pail...

Some great and interesting responses, thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am still waiting on the honey as my best friend's wife has a bee hive of several supers currently going, once it is ready I will start crafting.
