Hello again, I have had the urge to create some Mead.
I have ordered some equipment to allow me to brew cider and was thinking about trying my hand at some Mead while I'm at it.
I will be getting some cider yeast (sb24) and was planning on using this to make my mead. Will this work?
My plan so far which I'm hopping for some advice on is this :
Use a 2 litre demijohn - mix 1.5litres of water with 500ml of pure honey.
Add a tea spoon of the yeast
Add some raisins - I read this is needed due to the yeast needing some nutrients.
Once all in the demijohn give it a big shake to allow some oxygen to mix into the liquid.
Leave for a few months.
Now I'm sure this is a very simple, maybe even wrong procedure so would love some input.
thanks.
