Charlie Papazian, President of the association of Brewers recomends this simple traditional honey mead to begin with. Ingreidance: 15lbs of light honey 1 Tbsp of gypsum 1/2oz of dried champagne yeast 1/4 tsp Irish mosss powder 1. Throw everthing but the yeast into 1 1/2 gallons of water and boil for 15 minutes.(wort) 2. Mix with 3 1/2 gallons of cold water in a resonable container 3. Soak yeast in 105° water for 10 minutes, then add to the wort when the mixture drops to below 80° 4. Let the mead ferment in a cool, dark place, for 3 weeks to servral months. remember longer fermentation leads to a highter alcohol content. 5. After the mead clears move the liquid to another resealable container/bottle. GEEKGRLS NOTES: 1. ferment the mead in a dark container so no light penetrates at all, this reduces some of the bitterness. 2. leave bottled for a minimum of three weeks before drinking. geekgrl thanks Maxim for the recipe long since forgotten, we are talking eight years ago when i last tried this.
