I always thought you wanted grade B honey, Darker and sweeter from what I hear

Found this post from 2012 on the hombrewers assosiation page I did this to a cider, 1 can at kegging as priming sugar. It was awesome best cider ever. It also fermented out in the keg after a month, for what its worth. Watch out for sulfites on the label those are meant to kill yeast and stop...

this is exactly what Im looking for and Im 90% sure I know the answers for 90% of those questions!

I have had mexican honey, and while it is different its still really really good. I stayed in Costa Rica for 3 months working on a sugar cane plantation and made some mead for the workers there using local honey from our island and it was amazingly good and dirt cheap, think I paid less than 2...

Would you add any information that would make it helpful to follow or good to know things that you can think of?

Done! thank you! do you think that the mead types picture is needed or do you think a description would do well enough?

The easiest way to do that is to buy from a local beekeeper and start that relationship. When you scale up and start making bigger batches if you and the keeper are friendly, things will be a lot easier, I was able to secure a big batch of honey not only at a discount but also held back for me...

Im starting a website so that I can document everything and hopefully get my friends and family into making mead as well, I have a page with a how to make mead section and I was wondering if you all could look it over and give me some suggestions on how to make it better or more accurate? Here...

Them: Whats Mead Me: Its fermented honey, water, and sometimes fruits and spices. Its an alcoholic beverage Them: Whats it taste like Me:... Tastes like mead, With whatever fruits or spices I add in. Them: So its a cider?

Ive done something very similar but used mango juice and mango slices. Your Recipe looks fine from what I can see. Keep us updated!

This sounds amazing! Please let us know how it turns out I would love to try this as well! Ive used the juice from the cans of oranges and it turned out pretty good but never used concentrated orange juice. Ive always used orange zest and pressed orange juice

I go see 2 local Oregon beekeepers every few weeks and do what I can to help out and buy honey just about every time Im there for brew day. I generally pay 75-80 dollars per gallon of their honey. I dont mind at all paying the extra price for a premium product that people near me have worked so...

I dont think that it would be garbage honey, but it almost certainly would be bulk average honey and would not be the best. Part of making mead in my opinion is supporting local bee keepers and farmers. If you have the opportunity I would source local honey and help out the community.

My Favorite honey is Northwest Valley Wildflower Raw Honey (Oregon local) Its nice and light but has amazing flavour, and on top of that I get t support local bee keepers and sustain our local economy.

I blew up the sceling in my class room in highschool with an overactive yeast... Turns out by the time I was called into the pricipals office the teacher said that it was a test for his next weeks lesson that didnt turn out. As a homebrewer himself he was always covering for me.

What? You don't want to blow out your airlock and create a permanent spot on your ceiling?

Ahh I gotcha. This is a good way of looking at it!

Haha, That's True, I'm going to make 2 test batches using a yeast that's supposed to do better with fruit but I'm not sure if it will really make a difference. I just find it odd that stats like that could be so off. I might start keeping track of the different yeast strains and the respective...

I would like some insight from those smarter than me, I've been using Redstar Premier Blanc for the last 4-5 years using other yeasts very rarely. I decided to actually look up the specs on Premier Blanc and this is what I found: Species: Wine Fermentation Temp Range (°F) : 59-86 Apparent...
