Hi all,
Sorry if this has been covered before.
I made 5 litres [1 gallon ] of mead a couple of
months ago using 1000g of honey, a sliced orange,
some raisens and bread yeast.
I've racked it a couple of times and had a sneaky
taste and its really nice. Possibly a bit weak as I
topped it up to the 5 litres again after racking.
Anyway, my question is;
how long will it last without any kind of preserving
chemicals?
Also, I'm thinking of saving a bottle for my son, who
was born around the time I started the mead.
Is it realistic to think it would be drinkable when he's
old enough?
Any input apreciated.
