What do I do with 4 gallons of honey???

[Bartman]

Yep, my friend delivered the honey yesterday.
4 gallons, must be 30lbs!!!

Not sure I want to make mead.
Anyone in RI want some?

Seriously though, why don't you add 1/2 gallon of lemon juice pitch some yeast and leave it for a year or two as long as its good quality honey you should have a decent liquer at the end...
Disclaimer: I've actually never brewed mead and am a total newb but this sounded like a
Good idea in my head.....

Make a cyser........they are delicious. Around a lb/gal of cider.

Plain ole meads are one of my fav drinks.

I personally also love it as an adjunct in some standard recipes. Do any Belgians or anything? But yeah, that's a lot to use it all up as adjuncts Why not make mead? Sounds delicious to me.

You could always use it to boost your ABV in your beers if you want a really strong get ya drunk style. Personally I would try a mead out of it just because I haven't done it before.

4 gallons should be about 48 lbs.

Since you know the brewing side of things, why not make a braggot? Something big, like Schramm's "Hefty Braggot" would get rid of 8-9 lbs of that, and be something you could lay down to enjoy for years. That will give you time to get used to the whole meadmaking thing.

Looks like I will try a mead
Thanks for the suggestions

4 gallons would give you a lot of options. You could make a mead and still do several other beverages.

I put 2 lbs of honey in a blond ale last summer that turned out really well and didn't have to be aged for years, of course the ABV was a bit high for blond ale. A damn shame really...
