Mead
12 pounds grade a Honey
5 gallon purified water
1 pitchable tube of sweet mead yeast
two mandarin orange peals
This was me and my friends first fermented drink
pretty simple method boiled for one hour
cooled in sink with ice transferred to carboy
pitched yeast at 76 degrees
fermented 2 weeks in primary then
racked into secondary 3 weeks
third racking into a secondary for 5 days
bottled on the 9th of June 2008
tasting notes
first taste after 2 weeks was sweet almost like a very sweet spumante sparkling wine
second taste at after 5 full weeks and second racking was much dryer most of the carbonation was gone alcohol level very high
