So here is the deal. I've brewed quite a few batches of HB and I think I would like to try some mead. Now I tried mead one time at a SCA event many years ago and well...let's just say if memory serves it wasn't very good. Most likely just not done right.
Anyhoo....so I want to try it out and see if I like it. Now I don't want to do a 5 gallon batch for fear that I might not like it. So I was thinking maybe a gallon batch to start off with.
I've been doing a lot of reading on the making and I think all thats fine and should have a problem with that. I have 2 glass gallon jugs I was going to use for a primary and secondary.
Now a traditional honey mead sounds...ok but I'd like to spice it up with some fruit. Now I've been reading about a lot of different fruits and many sound good.
Can anyone help me out with a 1 gallon recipe? Also fruits I like or was considering was,
cherry
orange
pomegranate
raspberry
I was actually thinking of a cherry clove mix might be tasty, but I wanted to get your guys/gals opinions first and maybe get some recipe formulation help as well.
Thanks in advance!
cheers,
