Pumpkin Mead - J.B.
Ingredients
5 lbs honey
2 gal water
3 cans (8 oz) of fruit
1 tspn spices
twist of orange peel
yeast
2 gal water
3 cans (8 oz) of fruit
1 tspn spices
twist of orange peel
yeast
Methods/steps
Boil, skimming, for one hour.
Strain out the fruit and transfer to the fermentation container and add the orange peel.
Cool overnight, add your favorite yeast and stopper with your fermentation lock.
Ferment approximately 3-4 weeks (makes a killer pear mead and cherry melomel).
Both fruit and spices can be adjusted to taste.
The general finish turns out on the dry side, so if you like really sweet mead, you may also want to increase the amount of honey.
