Just as a followup, this is a 3month Mead?
It took the OP 16 days till it was done and he said he waited a week or so to bottle. When I make this, I give it a month in the primary then bottle and let it sit. It's good young but better as it ages.
When you guys make 5 gallon batches, where do you put it for drinking? Cause 5 gallons is a lot of bottles.
EDIT: so is this recipe 4 or 5 gallons of water?
Started a gallon last night with raspberry lemonade concentrate and used safale-04 ale yeast (it's what I had on hand!). Just curious if anyone has carbonated this and how that was?
Just bottled this this morning - final gravity was right at 1.00... sure has a "wine" taste, but not having done a mead before, I'm assuming that normal?
When its young, it reminds me of a dry white wine. As it ages, the lemon flavor begins to stand out more.
How did the strawberry addition turn out? I was thinking about doing this batch but racking in onto strawberries after done in the primary....any thoughts?
I'm going to try this today with ale yeast. Hmmmmm.....
S-05, S04, or WLP 300
It's only been in the bottle for a week and it's a keeper. I went with s-05
If anyone is interested here's my go at it.
6 pounds clover honey
2 pounds sugar
5 tsp yeast nutrient
4 cans of minute maid lemon
S 05 yeast
was this for 5 gallons?
