Hello all, I’m writing from Nova Scotia Canada and am new to the mead scene! Recently bought some bee’s for making my mead! Have made a few with not the results I’m after.. so I’m going to get to the point and tell you exactly what I’m after and hope someone can help me out..
I want a recipe that is quick and ends in around 6-8% alcohol.. once finished I would like to flavour it. And then throw it in the keg for carbonation.. I’ve tried a few mead mojito’s with not great success. So my plan is to have a mead finish off then add mint, or mint extract with lime. And don’t want it to sweet, My recipes I’ve been using are very basic including honey water yeast and yeast energizer. But comming out too sweet if I cold crash to stop fermentation at my 6-8% or way to strong if I let it go..
Some help would be awesome!
