Hi all, heres my first attempt at mead. I used Thirsty Vikings cysler recipe pretty much, + or - a few details.
Recipe:
5 gallons of apple cider with no additives
15 lbs of generic store bought honey (next time im ordering)
1 pack lalvin k1-v1116 yeast.
Note: did not pasturize, did not boil,cleaned and sterilized the kitchen with a vengence that made housemates quite happy.
started: 11/14/2004
transfered to secondary fermentor 12/04/2004
(waited a little longer than prescribed since my apartment is cold and wanted to give yeasties more time)
sampled some of what wouldnt fit in secondary... i know it is greener than green, but was very tasty.
I'll add more when theres more to add
any advice would be most helpfull
