I've heard of nettle beer, but thought I would try my hand at some nettle mead... I'm thinking boil nettles, add 1 lb honey, and balance water to one gallon. Any suggestions for recipe tweaks/a good yeast to use? I'm a bit of a mead noob.

1lb of honey may be a bit light, unless you're wanting a hydromel. Most recipes seem to use somewhere around 2-3 lb/gallon. There's some good info in the stickies including a very handy spreadsheet. Good luck! I've only done a tiny bit of mead making myself, but the results were nice.
