Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting here. I have a low gravity dry mead that was started this past saturday.
Ingredients
1 mint green tea bag
1lb. organic wildflower honey
1gal spring water
us-05 dry yeast
First i heated the water up to 160 and added half the pack of yeast to the water(for nutrients,need to buy some) and the the tea bag, took it off the heat and let steep for 20 mins. Once the water cooled to 120 I added the honey and stirred. Once the must was cool I transferred it to the fermenter and pitched the other 1/2 pack of yeast. It has been fermenting happily at around 65°F. Ill post pictures later tonight.
I am just curious what the rest of you here think about my process and would also like any feedback on similar projects.
