So i decided to have a go at some homebrew Mead. Started it in July this year.
Ingredients.
4 lbs of Honey
4.5 litres of Mineral water.
2 oranges
Pack of raisens
Heated the honey up with a litre of water.
Added the other 3.5 litres to mixture and poured into Demijohn.
Pitched the Yeast. was a Garvin wine yeast.
Whilst the Yeast was proofing sterilised and cut the oranges into segments and added to the Demijohn with the Raisens.
Pitched yeast into Demijohn and left for 6 weeks to ferment.
Racked to new Demijohn and left for a further 8 weeks.
Pictures are not very good but cleared pretty nice.
Bottled to 10 750cl bottles.
So now to leave for 9 months to age and mature.
The other Demijohn that is red is a Strawberry Rose Wine I am trying which has brewed up nice and is quite light and dry.
