Been lurking around the forums for quite some time now. Currently have 2 gallons aging and another 3 gallons of different melomels fermenting, 1 gallon of joes quick pyment, 2 gallons of hydromels, and 5 gallons of skeeter pee fermenting.
Here is the recipe for a Bochet I was working on (actually the honey is currently in my crock pot, and sanitizer mix in bucket).
4 Cups of honey (2 pounds) (2 cups orange blossom, 1 cup wildflower, and 1 cup clover. all unfiltered, raw).
Lalvin D-47 (also have K1-V1116, and 71B-1122 available if those might be better?)
Yeast nutrient, energizer (not sure on amounts yet)
water to 1 1/4 gallon (going for 1.075 ish OG 10% alcohol)
64oz Strawberry Banana Juicy Juice (comes out to half a pound of sugar total)
Wine tannin ( also not sure on amount).
I'm wondering if the strawberry banana juice would even go well with a bochet. (never had a bochet before. not really sure exactly what to expect. I have the juice sitting here unopened. thought it might be interesting).
Also trying to get opinions on how much energizer, nutrient, and tannin to use).
Thanks for any help, opinions.
