Mead started today. This batch I went with medjool dates and dried cranberries. Aiming for a lower ABV for the warmer days ahead. Starting potential is 8%

I haven’t made mead In years. you’ve inspired me. Time to break out the old brew equipment. I use to do a purely raw honey brew, raw honey, water, yeast. Then whatever flavorings in the secondary ferment. If i remember correctly braggot was my favorite.
Do it! Can’t wait to see what you bottle. 🤙🏻
That’s sick, I’ve only ever messed with tinctures
Give it a go. Mostly set and forget.
How many pounds of honey per 5 gallons?
One Gallon of Basic Mead:
3lbs Honey
2g yeast
Heat water to 100f, dissolve honey. Cool to 70f and add hydrated yeast
Ferment for 3 weeks. Rack and rest for 3 weeks. Bottle and sit for 2 weeks.
I want this
Could probably make this happen.. How do you feel about camping, bonfires, and a little traveling?
Yum!
🤙🤙
