i have this recipe from the book "making mead" by bryan acton and peter duncan
this recipe is on page 31 and if i were to make a six gallon batch it would multiply out to this
18 ponds honey
1 1/2 ounces of tartaric acid
3 ounces of malic acid
1/3 ounce of tannin
nutrients
sauternes yeast
now i'm a rookie but this seems to be way over kill on the acid. do you old pros agree with me or the recipe?
how would you alter the acid amount if you even would?
thanks
scott
