Mead

[randyt]

So I started dabbling into making mead. I use 3 pounds honey, handful.raisins, yeast and yeast nutrient. Probably some other stuff too
All in a gallon jug with an.air lock.

I use grolsch flip top.beer bottles for bottling I've only made one gallon so far

I have also dabbled with.chokecherry wine.

I want to do this with a minimum of equipment as possible. I dont think Friar Tuck used a bunch of instruments to make a good mead...lol

I don't think he did, either. Ha. Nothing wrong with making a gallon at a time.
Our son and one of my nephews like to make meade and fruit wines. They come out pretty tasty. Sampled a pineapple wine my nephew made last time he came to visit.

Chokecherry

Chokecherry is right up there close to rhubarb. It needs lots of sugar to make it less bitter.

I’ve never made mead but we make a little wine every few years.

I read a book on mead.

They crap in the bottom of the bottle, that will give you a really really bad hangover
