I'm pondering what I want to try for my next mead batch. I would like to make a batch just based on the type of honey without any spices or fruit. H
Hubby and I have decided to try some of the local and almost local honeys to see what might be good.
We bought a small jar of wildflower honey yesterday. OMG, it is so good! It has kind of a fruity taste to it. Way better than the clover honey we usually eat from Costco (Silverbow).
I'm wondering how this would be as mead? Basically since wildflower is really random flowers, I've seen some less than favorable comments about using it for mead.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. There are some other local honeys I want to test, it's mostly clover and alfalfa. I bought some local clover last summer at the farmers market and it was also way better than the Costco honey.
I'm not really that picky about the honey I eat, but if I'm going to the time and expense, I would like any mead I make to come out good!
Thanks!
Connie
