Can I make mead from this?

[rudyr]

I was given 2 gal. jugs of this dark honey. It says on the label it is a capping malter honey.Would this be good for making mead?

Capping MALTER honey, or cappings MELTING honey.

If the honey tastes good, it should be fine for making mead.

well, true, but you might try to make mead from old socks too....

Cap honey is what gets trapped with the wax when cutting open the honeycomb prior to extraction. It is darker because it is heated hot enough to separate it from the wax and slightly caramelized, some places also can call it bakers honey.

From personal experience you should be fine using it, the mead in the picture was made using a pretty dark bakers honey
