Standard Mead Recipe for 1 Gallon<\/p>\n
3 LB Honey<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Add to \u00bd Gallon of water in a saucepan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Heat on low till foam forms on the top.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Skim the foam off (Needed if raw unfiltered honey)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
If adding a fruit flavor do it now: anywhere from \u00bc to 1 cup depending on the strength.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Cool down to room temperature put aside \u00bc to add the yeast into and mix well.
\nI recommend 10 g Epernay II, Wine Yeast found at most homebrew suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Prepare a 1-gallon bottle that can take a fermentation lock by using a mild bleach solution to sterilize it. Flush with water to remove the bleach residue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Pour in the honey solution, add the yeast and enough water to complete the gallon of water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Place a fermentation lock on the bottle and place in a cool dark place.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Check for bubbling in the fermentation lock to see it is active.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Check the water in the lock and keep it filled at the normal level, if it drys out you can contaminate your Mead and spoil it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Check back weekly for activity. If it stops bubbling gently swirl the bottle around to mix up the yeast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Once it is done let it sit for about 30 days to let the dead yeast settle to the bottom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
You can fill up to 6 16oz bottles from this using a simple siphon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
