Making mead!

[jkhlt1210]

Just wondering a simple and easy recipe for mead?? Any suggestions?

Basically it depends on what you want, sweet, medium, dry?

How alcoholic it needs to be, what variety honey are you using, or is it optional?

One of my regular honey suppliers was scratching to keep hives alive earlier this season due to the dry conditions and lack of flowers so he dropped his hives on a mangrove forest (AKA swamp) turned out some amazing flavours in small batches. Have a little aside for a bigger batch of mead and a melomel now. Just need to clear a few fermenters. I mainly use the wyeasts or EC-1118.

Nutrients and aerate the crap out of it for the first three days and you should be fine.
