Hi All,
Back in March I tried to make my first mead. I used 12# of honey for a 5 gallon batch. It came out very dry and almost watery. I wasn't very happy with it. Thee are some off tastes to it as well. But I won't give up...
A friend at work keeps bees and just gave me a free gallon of honey. Mostly from fall wildflowers and goldenrod. My question is what should I make with it? I am thinking about making 1 gallon of sweet mead, and then making a braggot. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers,
Brian
