Mead starter

[the_ale_scale]

So I'm a beer guy and am ignorant about mean so please forgive me. I had an idea about using a honey starter (mead starter) and was wondering, if I used 8oz of raw honey and 8oz of water to activate the yeast, what kind of cell count rang am I looking at? Is there anything else I'm missing? Using wild fermentation if that wasn't clear.

That ratio is not going to work. Way to high a gravity. Try this:

You may want to seek the advice of wild_mazer, he is a member here, find a post and message him if he doesn't see your thread. To my my understanding he works with wild ferments often and I have recieved great advice from him too!
