Pymet/Melomel Recipe Ideas!

[HoustonMead]

So... I'm looking for a good recipe for some grape juice that my friends and I worked hard to get a couple weeks ago.

I have 1/2 gallon of Texas Blanc Du Bois juice w/o skins and 1/2 gallon of Texas Black Spanish juice w/skins.

I was thinking about making two 3 gallon batches so that it's less of a wine and more of a melomel. Any thoughts on recipes or what kind of honey?


Cheers!

Sounds like you've to the Haak Winery. Great place and great people.

1:1 grapes to honey by weight (or mass) is probably a good starting spot if you want it more on the melomel side, though I honestly don't have any experience with pyments. What does the juice taste like? That should be your starting spot for deciding on a honey to compliment it.
