3# of the Best Local Honey you can get.
1 tsp Yeast Nutrient.
HOT Water to make 1 gallon
Pasteur Champagne Yeast.
You will need to have 2 vanilla beans ready when you rack to secondary.
Put this mead together using no more heat than you get from the Hot Water Tap. You will need to make sure to oxygenate your must by shaking or by oxygen bubbler.
When Fermentation is complete, you rack onto 2 vanilla beans. When mead drops clear, and beans are lighter brown, you can rack again until very clear and bulk age or bottle.
