So I've decided to give mead a go. I have a about 10 batches of beer, 1 batch of cider under my belt so why not. I got the basis of the recipe off another thread and did some minor changes; it seemed simple and popular.
Recipe:
1 gal water(PUR filter tap)
5lbs clove honey(Sue Bee at SAMs for $15)
4 frozen Lemonade concentrate(Minute Maid)
2 cups golden raisins
2lbs corn sugar
Yeast Lalvin D47
Dissolved all that and brought to a boil. Boiled for 5 minutes. Pour into fermenting bucket at water up to 5-5.25 gallons. Cooled done to about 92 deg. Pitched dry yeast and covered.
OG: 1.1078
Within 15mins I have airlock activity.
Planning to let it ferment around 65-68 deg. I haven't decided if I want to rack onto some strawberries when the time comes.
