My first mead
My first mead.
What I used
2 lbs of Nate's Raw and Unfiltered honey
A gallon of generic spring water
A pack of Lalvin EC-1118 yeast
Fermaid O (can't remember amount)
Fermented for about 5 weeks and then cold crashed and added the potassium sorbate and metabisulfite
I'm a silly man and did not take an original grav so I am unsure what the ALC% is but by taste I wanna say its around 10%
I am very proud of how it came out and feel accomplished. My 4 year old is really into science so teaching him about fermentation as I was learning it as well was a great bonding experience. I can't wait to start getting a little more experimental with this new hobby.
Tastes great btw.
