Hello,
I am very new to the whole home brew process. I have been researching mead for about 3 weeks now and still find a lot I still need to learn. I am about to start my first batch and wanted to get some advice.
First I am probably breaking a cardinal sin and I am using a 1 gallon water jug. Since I am new to this I wanted to make sure it's something I would enjoy before buying a glass carboy.
My recipe is pretty basic:
2 lbs Honey
3 blood oranges if I can't get them 2 passion fruits
20 raisins
Half a pack of yeast (dont know the specific kind yet)
And probably the ballon bubler technique
I am looking for something sweet with a hint of citrus flavor but want to keep the honey as the main star. I read in one forum that the raisins help fuel the yeast so that the mead doesn't become to dry.
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. I am very looking forward into making this a hobby.
