Beer and ales are my favorite drinks,but I've been out of ingredients
to brew any for a few months now.

But I do have about 300 lbs of honey,so a put a 5 gallon batch of mead on.
I used about 14 lbs of very high quality clover honey,fresh grated ginger,and
some raisins for yeast nutrient,and a ale yeast.
My airlock started bubbling about 3 hours later.

I'm not getting a rapid bubbling like with beer,seems very slow,every few mins.
I don't know what i'm doing,hope it works.
At least im brewing.
What do you guys think?
Mead is my second favorite drink by the way.
 
sounds good to me. your going to have to add more yeast nutrient in about a week. may need to monitor your PH and keep it close to 3.7PH.
