not really sure what im making. was goin to do a normal mead recipe with boiled hops in it and see what comes of it.
I'm very curious to hear how this comes out. It's the exact same thing I am hoping to try at some point, but I'm low on honey at the moment and don't want to get more until I've tasted the results of the last 3 varietals -- orange blossom, alfalfa and goldenrod. (Ok, I've tasted and almost finished the goldenrod, but not the other two.) I've decided to go for the 60 pound pail of honey next time to start experimenting with various yeasts and other things, and a hopped mead is right there on the list. Just want to get the honey I like the most first.
For what it's worth, I'm thinking of only going for the bitterness, and not the flavor or aroma. As part of a dry mead (.996-1.000).
