I made a mead off a youtube video.
I know.
But after, probably watching the video too many times to admit, i carefully diagnosing the recipe and even briefly chatted to the guy who made the video, i have made it!
Took me a few weeks to get the ingredients from a few different places. I wanted to go local with my honey, but the expense seems to quickly rise when looking in that direction. I hope next time i can use local honey. Also, maybe trying to buy honey in the late winter/soon-to-be-spring in Wisconsin is a bad time to buy it. The OG came out to exactly what i was going for, 1.042 on the head! I got a first little taste of it when taking the OG, Super excited to see what it becomes!
Im thinking next time i want to make the mead again but with a 2nd fermentation and add blueberry! But i try not to get a head of myself.
