Cranberry Mead

[newbiewinemaker]

Hi All,

I am in search of a good solid Cranberry Mead recipe. I would like it to not be dry but kind of a mild sweet one. I am not a big fan of the dry stuff yet.


IF anyone has any links to a recipe that would be awesome! We have a fruit trucking coming to town with fresh Cranberries on it and I don't want to pass up an opportunity like that

Cheers!

Have you considered having a dig round Jack Kellers site for a cranberry wine recipe then just using honey instead of sugar ?

Actually no, I never thought of that! Good idea!

Thanks

Am planning one in the coming month(s) ....am thinking of going light on the honey, steep some honey malt for a bit o' residual sweetness, use 1116 yeast, and bottle carb it...haven't played with honey malt yet in mead, so only (lots o') time will tell ...although dunno if my idea would make it a braggot or not, am thinking no fermentables in the malt, it's just flavoring...I have no idea

I started one a few weeks back using the plain cranberry juice and 2lbs of honey in a 1 gallon batch. I plan to back sweeten with a cup of sugar after I rack it since the juice was very tart.
