What else do I need to do to help finish making my mead? I am thinking about adding fresh fruit juice to it like pomegranate or something else. Im not sure what to do next or how to do it. It has good bubble activity so im not worried about the yeast having been killed from the freezing and thawing process.
My recipe
My recipe
- 8oz of Sandts Buckwheat honey
- 12oz of honey (Nassau Honey - I think it was clover honey)
- WLP720-HB (It was frozen for months and I defrosted it in the fridge before pitching it)
- Raisins
- Cloves
- Ginger
- Lemon peel
- Lemon juice
- Sugar
- About 90oz of boiled water to remove the chlorine
- I warmed up some water to 120 degrees. Mixed in a tablespoon of sugar into it and poured in the WLP720-HB.
- Mixed both honey with some warm water to dissolve them and mixed everything together in a 96oz plastic grape juice bottle.
- After a day I started to see some slight foaming and bubbling in the bottle.
- Three days after I started making it I added in about 5 cut-up raisins and shook up the bottle.
- The next day I added in about 5 more raisins, 1/2 inch of cut ginger, 3 cloves, lemon peel, and about a tsp of fresh lemon juice. Shook it all up again.
