So I intended to make a Lychee Mead but apparently I'm off by a little for Lychee season. Luckily the local Asian Market had Rambutan! My intention was to make a Mead that was inspired by a Gewürztraminer Wine and Gewürztraminer shares some aroma compounds with Lychee's. So I'm thinking Lychee in Secondary if it's available by then. It's bubbling like crazy at 4 hours so I guess it's at least happy!
Recipe:
-5 lbs. Rambutan (Shucked, De-seeded, Crushed, Frozen, Thawed and Crushed again)
-17 lbs. Wildflower Honey (Locally Sourced)
-1 lb. Golden Raisins (From Sprouts)
-Enough Water for 5 Gallons
-2 tsp. Nutrient (SNA)
-1 tsp. Energizer (SNA)
-2 Packets Lalvin 1122
-1/2 tsp. Pecitc Enzyme
~OG: 1.128 @ 76F
I'm considering watering it down a bit since I'm afraid it'll be too sweet in the end, I'll have to think on it. I'd love to hear thoughts. Cheers.
