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.
