Thinking about a grapefruit mead made from grapefruit juice and honey with an orange sliced up. Any suggestions on adding anything else like raisins currants or leaving them out and what would be the best yeast for something like this.
JohnnyBeerbottles said:Okay so here's what I did.
Half gallon of ruby red grapefruit cocktail from concentrate
3 lbs of mesquite honey ( trader joes )
1/2 cup raisins ( Zante currants )
1 lime quartered
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
1/2 tsp yeast energizer
14 oz water
1tsp red star premier cuv'ee yeast
Tasted awesome and I'm sure it's going to be great! I didn't bother to do a OG reading because this will be sweet. I plan on adding some citra hops 1/2 oz, and 1 fresh red grapefruit ( no rind ) when I rack this in 30 days into secondary for 7 days then rack again and leave for a year then bottle for 6 months...
